Hello friends, I feel a little tired of looking in the water and left about two hours to review some of the near farm land to the house. Many things are the 19th century, military buckle, a coin of 1870, a tin soldier, a coin of 1619 and a plate with Roman inscriptions.
Greetings!!

:icon_thumright: wtg nice finds
 
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.

CONSTANTINVS

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?
 
Thats a bit more like it :wink: :icon_thumright:
