[QUOTE="doucet, post: 4283367, member: 46490"]My two cents worth. bcuda's 2nd coin is most likely ACIP 2116. The S shaped symbol on the obverse is not there because it's off the flan. It's not an imitation of the first coin. The reverse has the M shaped Iberian letter (S) before the bull. My example: [ATTACH=full]1089906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1089907[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1089908[/ATTACH] bcuda's 1st coin is likely ACIP 2131. I don't have one of those. Doug's 2nd coin is, I think, the same attribution as bcuda's 1st coin, ACIP 2116. Although, from a different die, it was a much better, and superb strike. The legend is worn, but you can still see the last letter. Again, bcuda's coin does not show the legend. [ATTACH=full]1089898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1089899[/ATTACH] Doug's 1st coin is likely ACIP 2149. There is probably a palm branch under the encrustation before the bust. Bing's type of Castulo is not covered in the ACIP, but it is in Burgos. In my copy it's listed as 572 Sextante?, 1.8g.[/QUOTE]
