I think it is Low Country but can't find it in Krause. Silver(?), 25mm. Thank you.

    Definitely Spanish. Hard to make out the exact type or mintmark but looks 1400s to me.

    It's a "Reyes Catolicos" coin of Ferdinand and Isabella. These coins are very often copied, due to those monarch's links with Columbus, so I suspect this is one of those copies. It doesn't look like it's made of good silver.

    An example of the ubiquitous several decades-old replica of a Spain Ferdinand & Isabella Toledo mint 1 Real.
