COIN

Unique ID: IOW-49FDC6

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

'It appears that at Mexico the coins continued to bear the names of Carlos and Johanna for some time after the accession of Philip II (1556). The single pellet above VS on the reverse appears to indicate the denomination, because 2-real pieces have two pellets and 4-reals have '4' there' (Pers. comm. Edward Besly, 2/9/2015).
