A complete copper alloy post-medieval resellado (resealed or restruck) cob coin of the Spanish colonies in the Americas, probably from the reign of Philip IV, AD 1621-1665. The unclear and confused design on both faces suggests each was countermarked. These are often called 'cob' coins: they were crudely made in Spain initially and later in the Americas for use in the Spanish colonies. The coinage was re-valued and consequently these are often countermarked. The flan is an irregular shape, slightly squared off in places.
