1 Reale Mexico City. The Shield side is upside down. I just rotated my computer screen upside down to view your shield right side up and I vaguely can make out the assayer - "F". The central blotch in the Hapsburg shield is the Bourbon element under Philip V reign. The assayer is Felipe Rivas Angulo who served from 1730-1732.

Looks like what I have been finding since "BoB" They tell me it's melted beer cans, but I know better. Look for Hogge/ship logo and roman numerals with letters SI and P, I think it's from Bermuda as in Tom Tew. HH Boris many of mine look like broken plate and scrimshaw on metal[Sommer Islands] circa 1615! undiscovered as of yet.:4leafclover: can be read like Braille. 20130222_112827.jpg 20130306_154937.jpg :4leafclover: Very heavy and sound like old 50 cent piece when dropped on table, L P? or C P? 20120127_110816.jpg XXV? = 2 bits
