A copper eight maravedis of Philip IV (1621-1665) of Spain, dated to 1626 to the right of the shield on the reverse. The surface of the coin is heavily clipped and worn so that the numerals indicating the value of the coin are illegible but to the left of the shield on the obverse might possibly by part of a letter B for the mint of Burgos. Cayón (2005) illustrate a similar eight maravedis coin of Philip IV, minted at Burgos in 1625, on p.629, no.5328.

Copper alloy 4 maravedis resellado, which means resealed or restruck, of Philip IV (1621-1665), of Spain, countermarked with crowned VI and the date of 1655 on the obverse, and a crowned IIII over the date 1636 on the reverse, so revalued first to 6 maravedis in 1636 and then 4 maravedis in 1655. On the obverse there appears to be a 'S' below the VI, which probably refers to the Segovia or the Sevilla mint. Cayon 5203-4.

Copper alloy 4 maravedis resellado, which means resealed or restruck, of Philip IV (1621-1665), of Spain, countermarked with crowned IIII over the top of a raised VI within an recessed oval and the date of 1654 on the obverse and another IIII on the reverse. So the coin, which was probably orginally an 8 maravedis of Philip III of Spain, was revalued first to 6 maravedis in 1636, as it wore down, and then to 4 maravedis in 1654, during the reign of Philip IV. On the reverse there appears to be a 'B' to the left of the IIII, which probably refers to the Burgos mint. Cayon 5189.
