Not a lot to go on.

Spanish Empire
A 6 (VI) maravedis countermark on a earlier issue,

There are two different types, one without a mintmark done in 1636 and a later one, which I think this one is
 if it has a mint letter under the VI, these were stamped in 1641/1642

(the reverse should have a date countermark, but as usual its not very evident)

Here is a similar one from my collection
