Title
A complete Post Medieval copper alloy eight maravedis 'cob' coin of Philip IV (AD 1621-1665).
Description
English: A complete Post Medieval copper alloy eight maravedis 'cob' coin probably of Philip IV (AD 1621-1665), later counter struck with the date AD 1699. The coin is a crude sub-circular. The obverse and reverse have been worn smooth. Both the obverse and the reverse have been counter struck to revalue the coin. The obverse has the value VII below a crown struck over an earlier date 16.. and a new date above of 1699, the reverse has VII with an X above and another X left and right.

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, and in this case split around the edges.

Other 'cob' coins on the database are LON-4589C3, ESS-B86936, LANCUM-2AE7C4, IOW-DC2625, SF-FCAFFB, NMGW-669D7B and SUR-4E17B8.
