Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A Post Medieval copper alloy coin of Phillip IV (AD 1621-1665) valuing 16 Maravedis stamped as a multiple on to a sheet and cut out. Obverse displays head of Phillip in an oval, surrounded by the legend [PH]ILLIPVS III[I]. As the coin has been cut from a sheet it has been done so off center and so the top of the legend is missing but part of another coin has been included.The reverse displays the royal arms in a shield surrounded by the legend [HISP]ANIARUM RE[X] again as the coin has been cut off center, the top part of the legend is missing but part of the reverse of another coin has been included. The coin is in good condition apart from some damage to the edge of the coin that could be the result of clipping. It is slightly bowed probably as a result of it being milled.
