We haven't yet had anyone guess this week's #MysteryCoin, it must be a tricky one! It's a worn, but nicely decorative piece, but from where?
Let us know! And don't forget to subscribe to the Coin of Note Newsletter, as it's due out this week with the answer: https://coinofnote.com/newsletter

Once you said Spain and pointed out the towers it occurred to me that castles and lions would probably the heraldic device of Castile and Leon.
@tlariv
It has to be a Spanish coin, though, because León y Castilla didn’t exist as a coin-issuing state in the modern era. That’s too modern a coin for the 1400s.
It looks like the coppers of the late 1700s, though the coloration looks too pale for that (unless that’s just glare in the photo).
@tkinias@tlariv@alexf24@numismatics@histodons definitely, like the blue and gold dress illusion a couple years ago. I try to bring it the details in coins but sometimes it affects the color. The 1949 Portugal 20 Centavos is another one which looks a bit silver in my pic although that one is bronze. I'll try to keep the colors more natural!
@IainMac9@alexf24@histodons Not so far from today's piece, and the order of the A to Z Challenge means you can guess when I need to write my newsletter this week!
