Hello friends, today I found the big Roman coin of my life and one of the best preserved. And a coin of Queen Elizabeth II (Spain), 8 Maravedis is also the currency of those best preserved of all .... Iber currency besides 200 a. C. (damaged) and a Spur ....etc.
Greetings! :wink:

Fanstastic finds!
But I will have to say that the key and the spur are the ones
that caught my eye!
 
When you have to include A.D. or B.C. to clarify the date of a coin, you know you're doing something right. beautiful coins
