A worn cast copper-alloy coin with several countermarks, possibly a revalidated Spanish 8 Maravedis of Philip IV (1621-1665 AD) or similar. The coin has an unevenly struck flan that is perhaps incomplete due to old breaks and extensive wear. One face (obverse?) has a countermark 'VIII' probably referring to its value of 8 Maravedis.
