Does anyone know this coin or know anything about it?

   Although I'm not an expert in this area, this appears to be an early (sixteenth or seventeenth century) Spanish colonial (Latin American) hammered coin commonly known as a "cob". Some have been salvaged from the shipwrecks of Spanish galleons (ships).  Unfortunately, there are also many counterfeits and replicas of these rather crude coins.
