Hello pepperj !
I had very busy day and hunting could only be an hour before it was made at night .... but I am very pleased with the medal, on one side shows the Virgin Mary and the other to flee the family of Christ to Egypt on a donkey. These medals square are typical of 17th century.... has more than 300 years old.
also I have this thing that looks like a U.S. coin or maybe 19 century is a token ..... on the front is represented Madrona with a tier that makes Liberty.

this would be my first coin / token of U.S.A found in Spain .... but a little worn. $:-\$
Greetings! :thumbsup:

yes! Is right is like a large Cent of 19th Century of U.S.A .pero century with some letters next to the date that I can not distinguish between.
possibly it is a token and not seen as any large cent with letters next to the date. the back is completely deteriorated.
I can not take a better picture of the coin was found in a agricultural field and has been damaged by fertilizer .... is not normal to find a Large Cent in Spain ,is the first one found here.

and created a new special post ,this Token has already been identified by Bramblefind, this is a Spiel Marke made in the 19 th century in Germany for the U.S. market, but ended up in Spain:

Hello VOL1266-X !
The Most coins here is coppers of the 17th century, 18th and 19th (they are everywhere.)
The Reale, Roman coins and medieval hammered not so abundant, but I have some.
These days I am doing a complete inventory of all coins found in three years, not counting the beach, only the oldest coins 100 years.

Congrats on the American Token and the 1600s Religious Medallion, both are very nice finds. Are you also a hobby pilot in your spare time that you can fly over your dig sites and leisurely snap photos? :laughing9:
