Lucky weather..Freezing Cold but with some sun today, with intermittent luck.

Amongst a few keepers, and the discovery of a glass dump (which I'll get into later today with heavy leather gloves) I found this little copper coin from around 1600. Probably Phillip II of Spain when the Spanish were the masters of Italy around Milan.

What's curious about it is that it is a "mint error". Notice the beginning of the dot-pattern rim of the next coin in line to be punched out on both sides.

(Also, I will not answer any questions on the amount of gold in this copper coin)
