Unknown silver coin.....

[HISPAN]

Keep doing much cold and rain ... but I could go for four hours and were very well utilized, especially when I found the silver coin.
It's a beautiful coin in good condition, but strange and very thick I have to study.
Greetings!

Wow, that's a nice one. I don't know what it is but I bet someone can tell you. This site has some amazing researchers. Congratulations on the very nice find.

Wow - That's a beauty! I don't think I'd find many of them around here.
Did you find that in Andorra or were you detecting else where?
Great finds.

Very nice. 16th/17th century Portugal maybe.

The five wounds of Christ are symbolized by the five shields on Portugal's coat of arms. Scroll down to the shield on this page and note the similarity with your coin:

The coin's size might suggest it is a 1/2 tostao.

Very nice finds and congrats on the Portuguese hammered coin! The small key looks like a casket key. I also find bells like that but they are in pieces, LOL, I have not found one intact. We call the bell metal "pewter", made from lead, copper and zinc. I enjoy your posts. HH, Mike
