    Hello Bill,
    Nice snag...it's not Seville.
    It's from South America, Bolivia. date maybe 1723? ...appears to be a cut 1 reales equal to a 1/2 real.
    Let me magnify it and see what that middle digit is 1700s for sure.

    I think you're right Trez. The figures on the date look nearly identical. Thanks for the help ..... Bill

    Great find!

    What's your guess as to how it got there?
