2 Spanish blancas

7 posts
I have these two blancas, both 19mm and I can't weigh them now. I believe them to be https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces45119.html, but there are some questions. For the left one, there appears to be a P mintmark. But looking at my Cal book, the only mintmark like this is B and there is no P mitnmark. Is my coin an error then? And for the right one, the coin itself looks strange with the text spacing, and the back has a numeral 6 or 9. Is this some kind of counterstamp? Or is this a contemporary counterfeit?

Hello,
The first one is the coin you linked : the P is the asseyer mark here.
I guess it's a Cuenca mint with a C in the other side.

i'm unsure about the second one. An overstrick or a maravedi with a crowned FV on the other side ?
They said the crowned FV type was minted a Santo Dominco here :

​Thanks! I don't see how it would be Santo Domingo as I don't see the FV, but maybe I'm just missing it.


Something like that but in this case it's an overstruck as it wouldn't be centered inside the circle.

​Thanks, the spacing of the text on the other side doesn't match, but it doesn't match any of the known types I see.
There is at least two strikes on the other side.

One match with the blanca type : "[FER]NA[...]"
And another seem to have a legend with : "[...]E(R)[...] · "

Can you weight it ?

​As I mentioned before I can't weigh it for now, but I can weigh it when I'm home next month.
