Yes, I am still very fascinated! I found them with a metal detector not even deep in the sand. Normally all I find are Euro. In the meantime I found out that both are coins of 8 maradevis. One coin shows the date 1661. Does anyone know why those coins are refered to as pirate money?
Yes, that is right. And there was a lot of trade between Spain and Hamburg during that time. It is the third Spanish coin from that time that I have found at this place. I am sure that there are even more. It must be a hoard. I will search this place every millimeter very soon....
Hamburg was a major sea trade port at that time (Still is), very interesting that you found some nice History of foreign trade.

From time to time I sell some coins on Ebay make sure to follow me @apuking on Ebay.
Does anybody know which mint the first coin is? The mintsign is clarly visible, but I have no overview about the different signs. Also I would be very grateful if somebody could help me out with the KM numbers. Thank you!!
