A counterstamped coin of the Habsburgs in the Iberian Iron Age archi-tectural complex at Cerro de la Merced (Cabra, Córdoba)
Abstract
We analyze a counterstamped coin, last time under Philip IV of Spain c. 1659 AD, found in a big excavation trench thus dated to the mid 17th c. AD, in the Iberian Iron Age aristocratic complex at Cerro de la Merced (Cabra, Córdoba). This is a most unusual archaeological corroboration of 17th c. treasury-hunting digs, well documented in Inquisition procedures, and connected with the inner exile and later banishment from Spain of the moriscos.Downloads
