Note: This coin is not in RCV, but the weight is consistent with Sear's no. 887 which has the S before the prow ("about 8 grams") so I have attributed it to the same date range. It has also been suggested that it might be a contemporary imitation of an earlier type from a local mint in Spain, of particularly good style. | |
