An incomplete Post Medieval copper-alloy Spanish 8 Maravedis coin of Felipe (Phillip III) (1598-1621). The coin is crudely sub-rectangular. The obverse features a rampant lion facing left within a shield. The reverse probably depicts a castle within a shield. Unclear mint. 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. The flans are usually, as on this example, an irregular shape, slightly squared off in places.
