    Hello,

    I have been trying to conclusively identify this Spanish maravedis for several years. It was found at a Spanish Colonial American settlement site in St. Augustine, FL approximately 33 years ago.

    I have never found an exact match to this coin. I think it might be either Felipe II or Felipe III based on style.

    Can anyone confirm? And I would appreciate any additional information on the coin.

    Diameter: 15.53mm (0.79mm thick)
    Weight: 0.69 grams
    Material: copper

    Thanks for any help.

    I think it's a cornado rather than maravedi. Check Spain - Castile and Leon, 12th-14th century

    Pretty fascinating find, considering the purported findspot. It would not surprise me to see a late-medieval era coin like this show up in St. Augustine in a 16th-17th century context.
