I recently picked up a 1720 B 2 maravedis coin. I have tried to use the Numista catalog to identify it with a KM number. I found the Spain 302.2 listing, but it only shows 1718 and 1719. Can anyone point me in the direction of what the KM number is. The coin is approx 23 mm wide and weighs between 4.2 and 4.3 grams.
I will attach front and back pictures.

I looked at that one too. 302.1 is the same width, but is heavier. Also the pictures for the obverse and reverse are different. However, the written description of the coin looks correct.

Your coin is KM#302.1 because the mint mark "B" at left side of the shield. KM#302.2 has a "Z" letter instead, mint mark of Zaragoza.

Are the pictures on 302.1 wrong for this coin?

It's queer, with the beaded border around the lion on the reverse it looks more like a 4 maravedis coin

but then the size is off because these are 28mm wide.

Quote: squash70 Are the pictures on 302.1 wrong for this coin?Yes, the photo in Numista Catalog for
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces26886.html is wrong. The photo is of 1 maravedí. Look at the roman number I at the right side of the shield.
squash70, may you change the wrong pictures in the catalog with your photos?

I submitted my pictures of this series of coins to modify the Numista Listing.
