Hello,

I am sure that it is a half cuarto (or 2 maravedis) of Philip II of Spain, Cuenca mint.  Obverse should be a castle with mintmark C on the left and Assayer mark I with small o above for the assayer Ioan de Astorga.   If it could be seen, the obverse legend should read "PHILIPPVS II DEI GRATIA."  Reverse should be a lion with pomegranate of Granada above.  If it could be seen, the reverse legend should read "HISPANIARVM REX."  Hope this helps.
