Copper alloy 4 maravedis resellado, which means resealed or restruck, of Philip IV (1621-1665), of Spain, countermarked with crowned VI and the date of 1655 on the obverse, and a crowned IIII over the date 1636 on the reverse, so revalued first to 6 maravedis in 1636 and then 4 maravedis in 1655. On the obverse there appears to be a 'S' below the VI, which probably refers to the Segovia or the Sevilla mint. Cayon 5203-4.
