Maravedís were small denomination coins widely used in Spain and its territories, important for everyday transactions in the 17th century. The resello mark denotes a counterstamping process used to revalidate or adjust coins’ values, often done in different mints like Madrid and A Coruña to address issues such as wear or economic policies.
