Hello. I recently got over excited about Spanish cobs for their history and craftsmanship. Did some research online but still not pretty sure. I bought myself 1 cob to have a start from an unexpected source.
I found that is Felipe II or III.The cob have about 6.6 gr. 24-25 mm. The rest I can just speculate. Can someone help me with some information about my coin. First off all if this is authentic and maybe you can identify the mint and assayer.

And maybe you can recommend some sites from where I can buy these coins. Is becoming a thing more and more for me :).
Thank you very much.

Minted in Potosi under the assayer Juan Ballesteros Narvaez. The question comes what period as Ballesteros served various tenures. Studying the features (better scans/photos are needed) can help in determining. My WAG is King Philip II - Potosi - Assayer Ballesteros (Third Period)
