For 1618, here's a four reales from Mexico. While the date is off the flan, the over-assayer D over F puts it in 1618. Dan Sedwick says the D/F over-assayer examples with dates show an overdate of 1618/17, but since my coin is completely missing the date I'm going with 1618.

Mexico, Philip III, 4 reales, assayer D over F (1618).
