This coin seems so well centered that it lost all the outside legends and I'm lost where to start with the ID. Comparing to other coins of the general type, I see the lion in a different pose than most (prancing rather than rearing) and the castle a simple box without the 3D shape seen on some. Left of the castle is what I am reading as PR (for Philip?) while to the right is a large D with a small o above (mintmark). Most troubling to me is my inability to find an ID site online for base metal coins but there seems to be a lot on gold and silver. Any hints or outright ID would be appreciated but I especially would like to know what is missing from this specimen (what did the legends say) and what clues that can be seen make the coin something I should have been able to ID (ruler, denomination, date, mint). What is under the lion's raised paw? Thanks.
DS, I belive your coin in the "undercoin" ...or whatever you call it, for this 6 maravedis I have.... I believe it is a 2 maravedis of Philip ii...but not certain. this may be useful, in Spanish... http://www.catalogodemonedas.es/?q=catalogo/monedas/24/94&pagina=2
