    Isabell I, Good condition, 1848.

    Anyone know a value to this? The Blackbook didnt show any values beyond 1860.

    We need a bit more information than that - like what coin it is. Can you post a pic ?

    I'm not sure of its face value, but it is copper and is slightly smaller than a Kennedy half. The words on the back aren;t readable, but the design on the back is a large + shape, somewhat ornate, and in the bottomleft and topright lions, and in the bottomright and topleft are what appears to be castles (more of the shape of a Rook in chess)

    Also i can make out the mint mark --> B M (b on the left side of the head, the M on the right side)

    Sounds like a copper 8 Maravedis coin ('B & M'). The mintmark would be below the 'cross'. It's listed as C-170 in my Standard Catalog of World Coins (try a library).
