You got the "LIPPU" from PHILIPPVS so at least we know that the king is one of the five Filipes; in the end you have 2 Filipes posible, Felipe III and Felipe IV. We know is 8 Maravedies becasue of the "shield" arround the castle and the lion (low coins as 2 maravedies, etc, dont have that). So here are the options:

- Felipe IV is the one in the link you sended.
- Felipe III: is this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces67810.html

I think it can be from Felipe III becasue 1 single detail: the end of the towers of the castle.

Its a bit sad that your coin dont have enought of the crown becasue it was another deatail that could help us to identify correctly the coin; sadly too is the fact that lion could be use to identify too the coin but i dont have enought experience and the pics here in numista of both coins just have bad detail in the lion.

As far as i can see, you have thoose 2 options and there you have my opinion. Hope it helped.

Edit 1: it is form Spain Spain, unificated i mean; not from the times of "Castilla y León" when "Spain" was fragmentated vs arabs in Al-Andalus blablabla
