Extremelly important piece of coin history you have there, congrats!!!!! Woow!! Impressive sample images. It has been known from recoveries in the Caribbean Sea that a line of galleons from Spain got either stranded or lost in many shores, even what is jnown as US today. It sort of reminds me of "maquc" money.

Thank you very much for your comment. Indeed, there are hundreds of Spanish galleons, which are under the sea, with enormous amounts of silver and gold pieces, more silver than gold. It has been calculated that with the content of these wrecks, Spain would have enough money to pay all its public debt. It is true that the coins in this post are very reminiscent of the macuquina coins, which were minted so much in the viceroyalties of Spain in America. A greeting from Spain.

Cool. Can you tell us something about these. Weight, composition and such. Look like cobs. Thanks.

These pieces, called resealed maravedís, are coins that have varied in value over the years for inflationary reasons, which is why the same coin appears on various dates and various values. These coins are known as bellón fashions due to their composition, which is copper or bronze, with a small silver league of approximately 5%. Greeting.

I wasn’t aware that these were even dated. I don’t know much about ancient coins though, I only have one from around the 3rd - 4th century. More of a novelty for me. Thanks for sharing.
