Title
A Post Medieval copper-alloy Maravedis resellado 'cob' coin dating to the 17th century.
Description
English: A Post Medieval copper-alloy eight maravedis resellado 'cob' coin dating to the 17th century. The coin is a crude sub-rectangular shape. The obvese and reverse of the coin is badly worn with letters and numbers stamped into it, the letter 'X' can be seen as well as the numbers 68, it is not possible however to make a positive identification. The coin has a dark-brown patina.

Dimensions: length: 17.03mm; width: 17.83mm; weight: 3.27g

These are often called 'cob' coins after the Spanish word for copper which is 'cobre': they were crudely made in Spain initially and later in the Americas for use in the Spanish colonies. The flans are usually, as on this example, an irregular shape, slightly squared off in places.

Other 'cob' coins on the database are ESS-B86936, LANCUM-2AE7C4, IOW-DC2625, SF-FCAFFB, NMGW-669D7B and SUR-4E17B8.
