It weights 1.57 grams- so I guess that makes it a 1/2 reale. Thanks guys for the compliments and the ID!

The Mexican peso and its subdivisions were legal tender in this country until February 21, 1857 so this coin had over a hundred years to migrate north and still be accepted. The main reason for their acceptance was authentic Mexican coins were know to maintain their level of purity; people trusted their intrinsic value.

NJ Nuggetpirate,
(1)The Practical Book of Cobs (Daniel Sedwick) third edition (or newer edition if one exists).
(2) The Coins of Mexico ( Frank W. Gore) 1981
(3) Go to Sedwick's online site and research his archived articles and previous auction sales.
(4) 2013 No. Am. Edition of "Coins and Prices" (2014 edition is probably out now-includes US and Canada coins and prices)
No doubt others may add to this list and I'll be looking for those additional suggestions.
