Comment
Krause Catalog does not mention this type. It is not mentioned in the 2008 Calicó Catalog either, but in the 2019 one (Cal2019#49). The image on this page belongs to the coin auctioned at Aureo & Calicó in Auction 302 Lot 201 with the following comment: "1680. Carlos II. (Madrid). 1 maravedí. Unpublished. Very rare, we do not know of another example."
Interesting fact
The 1 Maravedi coin from Charles II's reign was the first coin to feature the legend "Dios protector de la Fe" (God protector of the Faith) on its reverse side, which reflects the strong religious influence of the time.
