The one I was looking at is Phillip V Cob 1/2 Real 1700 - 1724
Spanish colonial coinage for Peru.  It looks very similar. Hope it is something like this Joel. It's in such great condition, could be worth a bob or 2.

Dont you just love the idea of Spanish Gold. It is almost orgasmic. Shocked

i cant find a good enough one to make a positive id right now but time is limited on the net so not had a really good look.

I'm sure we'll sort out what it is soon enough. Just want to say Thanks to everyone that has helped or even tried to help.

i don't think it's a cob. They are all silver and i think this is pewter and it's quite a thick coin with the same pattern on both sides

Hi Joel. Hope youre not in the danger zone for Irene. Come back safe. Wink

I wondered about the metal, the thickness and most of all the 2 sided markings. Very curious. We'll be interested to know what you find out.

Thanks Val, Irene is/was about 4 hours away from where I  and we didn't see anything from it. Just to add to the description of my coin/token it's about the thickness of a cartwheel penny and made of what I believe to be pewter. I will get this confirmed when I get back

Just got an answer from one of the American sites as to what this coin is. They have said

"your piece is a cast copy of a spanish cob treasure coin , if real it would of been made of silver and most likely just off struck from a set of dies and not so uniformed looking  from poured cast metal like pewter in a mould . it is a neat conversation piece though "

Hey Joel,  a bit of a dissapointment. Know how you feel. Still a nice coin anyway.

Yup still nice for the collection. Not very old either I don't think. The bloke from the other forum is just guessing early 60's to 80's. Ah well. One day I guess
