No historical "doubloon" ever weighed 10.6 grams in brass. This is a novelty token — the kind sold in gift shops, pirate-themed attractions, and treasure chest party favors since roughly the mid-20th century. The actual Spanish gold escudo denominations popularly called doubloons (the two-escudo piece in particular) were struck in 22-karat gold at the Casa de Contratación-regulated mints of Seville, Mexico City, and Lima. Brass tokens borrowing the name have no issuing authority, no monetary history, and no numismatic classification beyond "exonumia."
