Hey, guys.
I’m having trouble identifying an old coin.
I got it in Spain, so I assume it’s Spanish.
It seems to be a redundant coin that was countermarked.
The coin forums had no clue.
Any ideas?

doesn't look like a coin. What's on the back?

we made those in my backyard and sell to stupid spaniards coming to our city here in portugal
[spoiler]but seriously, even if i don't know shit about the subject, it doesn't look naturally old since it still is too shiny and the marks it has on it doesn't seem to be that old, so it might have been old preserved or it isn't less than 100 years old... my suggestion would be for you to take it to a nearby museum/antiquary so they could give you more info or tell you where to get it[/spoiler]

also, most coins have more than a single face and always have more than a single pattern along with some kind of motto
so chances are that isn't a coin but something else...

Twenty-five cents.
