8 maravedis de Felipe Iv de la rara ceca de Cordoba que solo emitio moneda entre el 5 de marzode 1663 hasta el 17 de octubre de 1664.
These Spanish billon coins were struck in denominations of half, one, two, four, eight and sixteen maravedis (34 maravedis = one real in silver). The types were struck only briefly (1660-64) and then abandoned, most likely due to rejection by the populace. This specimen was struck at the Segovia mint (mintmark: C) and preserves some of its original silvering. Similar coins were emitted from Trujillo, Granada, Seville, Madrid, Toledo and Valladolid:
