Could be just beat up. Is that a CT cut copper?

I put it over on tnet and the consensus is 1600s jetton, Spanish Maravedis, or a British Trade token . All agree 1600s ....It is paper thin hammered coin...

The coinage is quite similar to this hammered coin - the Spanish-American Maradevis....

Nice hunt! 

A breast plate, box plate belt buckle, etc., are on my bucket list!  Not easy to find on the left coast, but it does happen.

Believe it or not, I've found two hammered fractional reales in California at a Spanish site.  Both were early 1800's hammered copper fraction (1/4) reales from the same site, one's in great condition, the other is okay.  I was surprised when I posted them that Keith Southern posted that they were actually valuable as they were a rare mintage from Sonora, MX. Apparently there's a collector market for them.
