First of all im still on cloud 9. Wow had hour to hunt after work and needed to get out. Well lately only luck ive had is bad, 1st my son 1 year old fell and broke leg (poor guy). Next day rain rain and more and sump pump just could not handle it. Well basement flooded out just after we completely finished it, all from new carpet to new walls. Well thats why i needed to get out, had about 1 hour or so before dark. So i went to a very hunted out site i was told, i found my first cellar hole. in center was huge piece of metal down a couple feet dug and dug, couldnt get out so covered back up. As i was backing up got stuck on some sticky bushes ouch well had a small signal as stuck. well kicked dirt away maybe 2 inches and lost signal,so out comes pinpointer scanning dirt just was getting small tick. started scooping dirt with my hand and out it fell. Thought was a dime but seen cross almost had a heart attack in middle of woods thought my luck i will. Well i made it out of woods when dark holding this coin in my hand the whole drive home. Not sure of date any info on this cob i would appreciate it. i have not let go of it yet..

His Majesty Charles II of Spain was the last king of the Habsburg family, according to current historians say he was ill and unable to govern.
Do not leave offspring therefore sought a new royal family ..... the family of Bourbon, the first king of this family was his Majesty King Philip V of Spain.
This replacement of families had to completely change the concept of the Spanish Empire , the Bourbon family came from France and had a concept of highly centralized economy with the style of France, Spain became a single kingdom with centralized economy in Madrid elicited a great war that lasted many years.
I hope helped historical understanding of this coin! :thumbsup:
