Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry to ask you, but it is educating me

 

How do you see the mint mark?

Sorry I see “T” under castle

Mine appears to be a “B”

Identifying mint mark, 

Best regards 

Herman

N#123042 

 That page says it is not a letter, but a shell, under the castle.

 Therefore, as yours looks to have a B there, then the eBay seller 

has maybe got it wrong. Though for now, yes it is a Spanish coin. 

 I see other questions and replies while writing inbetween.

Size and weight doesn't fit the OP's coin.

 Maybe if I try to read the lettering, then see which coin it may be.

Burgos fits, Toledo does not. It is definitely a B

 I think the eBay seller got the right coin, wrong mint. 

Edit - although, maybe it was correct - just not the Burgos mint! 

Royal Mint of Burgos (Real Casa de la Moneda de Burgos), Spain 

 

 

 Only done with clear letters. Obverse starts at top, reverse on right. 

From that last link - N# 122744 

Lettering: IOHANES DEI GRACIA REX
