Hello SE Michigan here.

Found this 2 reale today at the park. Managed to ding it, I doubt if I dingedmore than 6 silvers this year, but I got this one w/ out even trying

It was under a big root about 5 inches down and.....

Looked it up and this is what I came up with, it's a 2 reale, minted in MexicoCitythe dude on the obverse is Charles the 3rd(spanish dude), they had trouble w/ supplying new dies for Charles the IV, so they used the olddudes portrait and just added a roman numeral I to the III. Later coinshave the IV.

I'm thinking this was someones keep sake and dropped within the last 5 or 6decades.

Well I think its a cool find, 219 years old, too bad about the dings.
Thanks for looking.
