[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3313020, member: 43872"]I thought Spanish as well when I first bought it, and believed that for a long time. But I cannot find anything like it listed among Spanish coins. The date is above the orb on what I take for the obverse. The orb probably originally had a cross on top, and the date is to either side: 16 on the left, 54 faintly on the right side. The 5 is a very old style 5, and the 4 is fainter on the picture than in hand. The cross on the reverse separates four emblems (left to right, top row to bottom): a wheel or shield of some sort, a lion rampant, another lion rampant, and a crowned spread-winged eagle looking left.[/QUOTE]
