    The closest thing I can find online is a 1700's Colonial Cob Coin. Any idea if it's real and what the value would be?
    Pics in first reply of actual coin in question. Thank you all!

    That is most likely a copy of a Spanish cob.

    Well OP... A genuine Spanish Cobb will look like the one below. Your is pretty obviously one of those pieces that are made for the toursit trade and available at any coastal gift shop.

    Yes. It is a tourist replica of a Spanish cob, clearly marked COPY in compliance with the 1973 Hobby Protection Act.

    It is only a novelty item.
