Looks like the Spanish coins that were recovered from the shipwrecked Atocha, which sank in 1622. That would probably make it from that era. As for value, I would guess $100 or less.

Please direct me to where I can buy coins recovered from the Atocha for $100 or less... Thanks ps.. I'm not talking about the reproduction cobs cast using Atocha Silver bullion..

He is talking about the general value of a coin like this from that era. Just because the Fishers charge a 1000% premium doesn't impact the value of other coins.
