Hi All,

Can anyone help identify this coin? I check may places but the only clue is perhaps if rom Spain...

Thanks,
José

The original coin is “4 Maravedis”/Filipe III/Spain.
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26796.html.
It has been stamped twice, first to “8 Maravedis” in 1652 and later, in 1658/59, back to “4 Maravedis”.
It is a nice coin since they did not hammered the coin before applying the stamps.
It was common to use coins of “2 Maravedis” , hammered to have the size of a “4 Maravedis”, and then stamped with the “8”.
