Revisiting an old unidentified Spanish (?) piece from 1663

coinpictures

I asked about this coin a couple of hundred years ago, but no one had any leads at the time. I stumbled across the coin again while prepping some stuff for eBay.

It appears to be a 16 Maravedis from Spain, 1663. However, the mintmark at left does not correspond to anything listed in Numismaster.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Humm, that is odd I don't seem to be able to find it either.

It's not clear in my book what every variety has for a mint mark. I ran into the same thing looking up a french coin the other day.

They don't all have a photo or scan either. That makes it tough. What is the mintmark on yours? Is it the blob just to the right of the date?


KM #172.2 says Mint Trujillo mint mark : scalloped shell. At the start of the section the don't list a Trujillo mint but they list Toledo was there a mint in Trujillo ? It's not a big town even now is it?

Well that's more than I knew before.

Was there a Cordoba mint? Cordoba appears to be a city in south-central Spain.
