Tobe roman or not to be Roman that is the question.
The discussion here is that it is struck roman as there were other romans found in the same field and it is thick like a roman, i have just never seen a roman coin without legends and a bust on at least one side. we did this in hast late last night but could probably get a better picture tonight. sorry we have no way to weigh it or size it for you here. Thanks for your help
P.S. the other Roman has a woman on the obverse would you be able to help us identify also?

I'm pretty confident that you will receive the help you require, but please start a new thread for your second coin.

Yep, as Pekka has shown

A spanish empire counterstrike of 4 maravedis done in 1659.
