I don't think it is that old, I have not cleaned it yet but it is still impressive in hand. 6.5gm and 28.48mm Cool castle and a Lion? Any assistance is appreciated.

BTW, The DJ said this on Sirus today. 56 years ago today.

Another clashing of worlds between rock legends took place on a fateful night at the Saville, on June 4th, 1967. Paul McCartney and George Harrison were in the audience as The Jimi Hendrix Experience headlined and played an electrifying set at the famous venue in London.

I would have loved to see him play.

Something along these lines:

Spanish Monarchy, under Philip II, AE 4 maravedis, 1584–1585 AD, Burgos mint, moneyer: Juan De Morales. Obv:  [+DON·PHELIPPE·II· ]; castle; in fields, B–M and circle Rev: [+REI·DE·LAS·HESPAÑAS]; crowned lion l. 21mm, 4.07g. Ref: Calíco 2008, 781.

Without the field marks, it is unfortunately near impossible to identify the mint and moneyer. The octolobe border on your coin might help to narraow it down at least a bit, though.
