Your 'featured" coin is a copper 5 centimos from Spain. It weighs 5 (cinco) grams and thus there are 200 (dos cientas) pieces to a kilogram. It does feature a lion holding a shield and the personification of Espana (Spain) on the other side. There were 170 million minted by Oeschger Mesdach & Co. ("OM" on your coin) of this one year type. Value a few years ago was about .25 with heavy wear to about $2.00 with moderate wear. They're usually found quite worn so pieces with very little wear may be worth $10+.
I continue to look forward to your great finds.

Many thanks for the pic.
I congratulate you for ID-ing that coin.
One source indicates the coin was worth 3 maravedes, another states it's catalogued as KM #55. The period of this particular issue was mentioned as between 1612 and 1621.

Edit: Is that the "R" I see on the left (obverse) coin, and the "A" (for 'ardite') would then appear on the left side of the king's image?
