    Description

    1500s or earlier Spanish coins, treasure of 8 pieces, metal detector finds !!
    I am a metal detectorist and I communicate and trade with other detectorists around the world.
    I clean the ‘dirt of the ages’ off of the coins myself, as I attest in my little COA.
    This lot consists of 8 small copper coins found in Spain with a metal detector, as shown.
    Some of the coins have much wear.
    These rare coins date from the “Reconquest” and into the unification period.
    Reconquest was a period in the history of the Iberian Peninsula of about 780 years between the Muslim / Umayyad conquest of Hispania in 711, the expansion of the Christian kingdoms throughout Hispania, and the fall of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada in 1492.
    I find the old copper Spanish ‘pirate’ coins interesting, Spain becoming a great world power after unification.
    Although Spain was extracting much treasure from its colonies, the empire went into bankruptcy several times in the 1500s and 1600s, due to wars and overspending.
    The coins are also fun to identify as to the the King in power at the time.
    You get in this lot:
    Top row:
    MUSLIM FAL 719 - 1492 A.D.
    CATHOLIC KINGS
    KING PHILIP II, 1558 - 1598
    CATHOLIC KINGS
    ‘CATHOLIC KINGS’ COINS.
    The term Catholic Monarchs or Catholic Kings refers to Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, whose marriage (in 1469) and joint rule marked the unification of Spain. Isabella was eighteen years old and Ferdinand a year younger. It is generally accepted by most scholars that the unification of Spain is traced back to the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella.
    Their greatest achievement was the financing of Columbus, who discovered the New World.
    Isabella died in 1504 and Ferdinand died in 1516.
    KING PHILIP II, 1558 - 1598
    Bottom row:
    CATHOLIC KINGS
    Muslim FAL, 719 - 1492 A.D.
    MUSLIM FAL
