Figured I'd add another in here....just got this one yesterday I believe its 1659...it could be 1559....its debateable....give or take a hundred years it still belongs in this thread.

goodyman,
Welcome to treasurenet !
Is your 'coin' a jeton?

Hey Don- a coin dealer looked it up a number of years ago and did identify it but I don’t remember what he called it but you may be right. Have you seen one before?

[Mackaydon]

Thanks for the pictures, not much value but still a nice coin. I have found a few reales, the best being a 4.
We vacation in Laquinta every couple of years but not this year. My wife and 2 boys are hard core golfers and love California for golfing.

Marevedi 1659....is the consensus. I think I see a 163 on the edge of the coin in another area also....its so worn its hard to tell.

I have only one, and I live in a town that dates back to 1630, and became a town in 1658, I always wanted to dig a coin older than the town and I dug a 1657 Laird, you can see the date but the coin is very worn, mine is on the right, the left is what a nice one looks like
