Further searching in my treasure box, I find this 4 Maravedis coin from 1621. The date is just hardly visible, but with close inspection, 1621 can be read. Although the last number is a bit of a guess.

The obverse shows a lion (It's upside-down in the photo) and date on the top.

The reverse has a castle on it. It is situated right side up, so whoever encased this, thought this was the obverse. The castle is more recognizable than the lion.

This coin has been clipped many times, all around the edges and a big bite out of the side.

This coin has been clipped back from it's original size. It's a little smaller than a penny, little larger than a dime.

The original size of this coin was about the size of a nickel!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
