Silver penny of Floris V, Count of Holland (1256-1296), minted in Dordrecht c.1285-1296, modelled on the pennies of the British Isles with the profile bust on the reverse remodelled on those of Scotland and the long cross on the reverse on those of England. Grierson (1991) illustrates a very similar example of a later style of penny with a more refined bust of Floris V, minted in Dordrecht, dating from c.1285-96, on page 121, Fig.276.

Clipped copper alloy 8 maravedis of Felipe III (1598-1621) of Spain, dated to 1611 on reverse, but countermarked later in under Felipe IV's reign (1621-1665) as an 8 maravedis 'resellado' which means 'resealed' or 'restruck'. The coin has the mark 'R X' on the obverse for REX and the various '8' or 'VIII' stamps refer to the denomination of the coin. Just above the RX mark, but upside-down, is another countermark which reads 165[], which gives the countermarking date of either 1654 or 1655 as one of the documented dates in Felipe IV's reign (John Naylor pers comm).

Silver eight reales of Philip II (1556-1598) of Spain, probably Mexico mint but too worn to be sure. Cut from a rectangular silver strip, so that it is now sub-square in plan, and punched with a worn die, so that the legends are missing. Cayon (2005) illustrates an similar example minted in Mexico on page 534, No.3914, which also has an 'M' above an 'F' to the left of the royal shield.

Incomplete copper alloy 4 maravedis of Philip IV (1621-1665) of Spain with crowned shield on obverse, countermarked with a IIII under Philip IV in 1655. The date 1655 is on the edge of the coin, to the right of the crowned shield with a lion rampant. The reverse has another countermark of VI above a border, beyond which is a larger IIII. The coin could originally have been an 8 maravedis of Philip III (1598-1621) of Spain, which would have been presumably revalued as 6 maravedis in 1636 and then again to 4 maravedis in 1655.

Using copper alloy presumably gave the forger his profit. Made during the reign of Louis XIII around the ordinance of June, 1640, with a fake countermark.
