Title
A complete Post Medieval copper alloy eight or twelve maravedis 'cob' coin of Philip IV (AD1621-1665), possibly dated to AD1636.
Description
English: A complete Post Medieval copper alloy eight or twelve maravedis 'cob' coin of Philip IV (AD1621-1665), possibly dated to AD1636. The coin is a crude sub-rectangular shape. The obverse depicts a castle within shield and a counter-stamped crowned XII. The reverse possibly depicts a lion and is counter-stamped with a crowned VIII. This was likely done in 1641 during the Spanish coin re-valuation.

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.

Dimensions: diameter: 28.02mm; thickness: 1.19mm; weight: 4.16g.

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