An incomplete silver 2 reales of Felipe III (1598-1621) of Spain, possibly from the Grenada mint. The coin is heavily clipped all round the edge removing any trace of inscription.

The reverse has a plain cross with alternate lions and castles in the angles of the cross, all within a double tressure of arches. Similar examples from Gre…

Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval gilded lead-alloy contemporary copy of a Spanish 4 reales of Philip II (1556-1598) or Philip III (1598-1621). The addition of the Hapsburg heraldry to the Spanish shield dates the 'coin' to after 1570. It is unclear whether this coin copies a Spanish-minted variety or one minted in the New World, although it may be copying the slightly squashed shape of the 'cob' coins minted in South America. The weight, at 6.8g matches the listed weights for 2 reales rather than 4 reales. The gilding would result in the coin not being an adequate imitation for circulation and woul…
