1655 Coin Maravedis Spanish Empire 368 Years Old Pirate Era Rare Counterstamp

Description: This Spanish Empire coin that was counterstamped in 1655 is a rare and valuable piece of history. Minted during the reign of King Philip IV, and the time period of Piracy, it is a testament to the power and influence of the Spanish Empire during the 17th century. Featuring the denomination of Maravedí, this coin is a must-have for any serious collector of world coins. This coin has multiple counterstamps and counter marks done by decree of the reigning King of Spain. From 1603 to 1659, there were six series of counterstamping the copper coinage in order to increase their value and thus raise revenue: 1603: the 2 & 4 maravedis have their value tripled 1636: the pure copper maravedis (not the billon ones) also have their value tripled 1641-42: the 2, 4 and 8 maravedis are increased in value to 6,8 and 12 1651-52: the 1 and 2 maravedis are quadrupled in value 1654-55: the 4 maravedis are doubled to 8 (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/selection-of-old-spanish-coins-some-counter-marked-more-info.386258/) The coin has definitely seen some history over the past 368 years! It is a tangible reminder of a bygone era and a fascinating glimpse into the world of early modern Europe. 1329
