✅ SOLVED Coin Help

Bought some old coins today (cheap) and two of them I have no idea. One is worn so bad can't make anything out. And the other, guess I just don't understand the writing.

Coin A is the larger coin shown with quarter for scale

Coin B is the same size as a quarter

Any info of what either of these coins are, Date range, and value?

Got about 20 foreign coins for 5 dollars. After research and looking at prices I come out pretty good as most of the coins are 1800's. Just need info on the last two coins.




Thanks

The copper is a 1799 British George III Halfpenny, and the other is a modern reproduction early (16th century) Spanish silver. Neither has any value, well very minimal.

For $5 it's usually worth the shot! and with most being 1800s coins I don't even have to see them to know it was.

Second one is a replica, as 'IP' mentioned, of a "real" coin from the period 1474-1504 (Ferdinand/Isabella) showing the 'yoke and arrows'.
It's weight, if real, would give its denomination (about 27 grams for an 8-reales piece).
Don.

You forgot mention a harshly cleaned British George 111 Halfpenny
