Yea, agree with @Victor_Clark In terms of the original coin posted in this thread, it's a fantasy coin based on the gold escudos minted by Spain...
The coin looks wrong. Terrible fake.
Thanks for your kind words, and I agree. It is a truly marvelous coin. I also wondered about the condition and it being from a shipwreck. I...
I don't think I'm not seeing what you're seeing. But all good. I think you're right in any event, it is most likely to be a Philip III - even...
Thanks for sharing your coins @Mat and @SensibleSal66 Love the cross on the Italian coin Mat. And there's something special about shipwreck...

Lovely coin. The discussion of a full crest reminds me of the lady who was trying to sell her "full crested" Owl for $1 million. It wasn't quite...
By the way @DonnaML, I love your second coin. It's got the works, Phalanthos on a dolphin, a trident, an owl - and it even says TARAS in big bold...
Bing does have a very large collection! It is very impressive, with lots of eye appeal.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement on buyer's remorse, sharing your coins, and further information. Loving the different designs and...
This coin is a bit of a departure from my usual MO. The coin is not from one of the great Greek empires or famous city states and (therefore)...
