<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2833496, member: 80804&quot;]The cluster of arrows &amp; bow in this style is pretty much unique to the Spanish issues. I would take issue with calling it a &quot;cob&quot;, though. The flans for these were not chiseled off the end of a cast silver bar of convenient-diameter. I don&#039;t know if any of these AR denominations were among the early milled experiments - Spain was experimenting with &#039;ingenios&quot; very early-on, compared to other contemporary world powers. This may surprise those who are mainly familiar with the crude dump-style vellon maravedis which were so often C/M&#039;ed for revaluation during the 17th century - the &quot;resellos&quot;. It will occasionally surprise someone when they find one or more of these revaluation C/M&#039;s on a neat, obviously milled Æ coin which otherwise appears as though it&#039;s of more modern originthan the date on the C/M.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
