<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 417225, member: 112"]While I cannot find any referrence for the coin, process of elimination can work for us here. It's definitely not Spanish, that much I know. The coin has Philip on the obv, only Philip it could be is Philip I because the II & III had no such coin. Yes, In Hoc Signo Vinces was a motto of Portugese royalty and that is a Portugese cross on the reverse if I've ever seen one. Therefore the coin has to have been issued by Philip I 1581-98.</p><p><br /></p><p>One problem, that does not look like a hammered coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
