Authentic 1600’s Coin Spanish Empire 1600-1659 Pirate Era (see description)

Description: This genuine Spanish Empire coin from the 1600s is a great find and perfect for avid collectors of coins and collectibles. It is a tangible piece of history from an era of piracy and privateering in the Spanish Empire and an opportunity to own a 400 year old coin at a very affordable price. Minted during and around the reign of King Philip IV of Spain and the time period of Pirates and Privateers, it is a testament to the power and influence of the Spanish Empire during the 17th century. It has multiple counterstamps and countermarks stamped on the coin (see photos). Featuring the denomination of Maravedí, this coin is a must-have for any serious collector of world coins. By decree of the reigning King of Spain, from 1603 to 1659, there were a reported six series of counterstamping the copper coinage in order to increase their value and thus raise revenue: In 1603 the 2 & 4 maravedis have their value tripled In 1636 the pure copper maravedis (not the billon ones) also have their value tripled In 1641-42 the 2, 4 and 8 maravedis are increased in value to 6,8 and 12 In 1651-52 the 1 and 2 maravedis are quadrupled in value In 1654-55: the 4 maravedis are doubled to 8 This coin has definitely seen some history over the past 400 years. It is a tangible reminder of a bygone era and a fascinating glimpse into the world of early modern Europe. 2002
