In what area of Spain was found?
Thanks,

The other side is ruined, it is found a little east from Malaga.

 

[Mackaydon]

Maybe not Spanish since Malaga is a major seaport.
First guess: It doesn't predate the Moors.
Don....

 

[jan nielsen]

I agree Don. But it still looks like it could have some age to it. The letters look old.

Not a lot to go on but only possible clue is the character circled in red. So, possible Ferdinand II of Aragon as ruler of Castille - late 15thC to early 16thC ? Just a thought....

 

[Mackaydon]

I thought the character you circled in the OPs post was either a Roman "II",designating the partial ID of the reigning monarch or the denomination of the coin; versus an "N" as in your post symbolizing that letter in the name Regi"N"a.
I'm still open to the idea the coin may not be from Spain; hopefully, someone will ID it's origin.
Don....

I just have to say that the coin is a copper coin, if that can help you guys. Deepsecrets proposal looks possible.

 

[jan nielsen]

I will try to get a picture of the other side from my buddy it is his coin.

 

[jan nielsen]

It's really hard to take a decent picture of the other side, that is the best i could do.

 

[jan nielsen]

Could it be this one? what do you guys think?
