sweet 5 kopeks!

here a coin that's like me, ugly...but interesting.



well, i've had a ball trying to figure out what the heck this is. i believe it to be a 4 maravedis of philip iv of spain. it's overstruck on something else (probably a lion and castle type), and looks like it was overstruck or counterstamped or something. the obverse show a monogram of philip iv below a crown (the right side of it looks like a dollar sign) i think the "iv" value counterstamp wiped out the left of the monogram. the reverse shows RX under a crown. 1659 date below. if i'm wrong, your if anyone has any additional info, i'd be very interested.
