Comments

The coins with year 1701 is an error in date. They were minted in 1707.
Error with other dates, like 1078.
Most of the coins are offset, then the date is not visible.
The coins were stamped in ardite coins. So, in some of them it is possible to see Phillip III or IV bust or the Barcelona shield.

Here is one more example of this coin, where clearly the shield of Barcelona can be seen, offset, on the obverse, while the bust of Carlos III is clearly struck on the reverse. The legends on both sides are scrambled with the original ardite legends, making it difficult to read.

These 2 Diners coins are easily recognizable by the symbol close to the rim, three times at 120° on both sides:
