8 reales, Piece of Eight real or fake

[blackdove]

A friend asked me to do some research on a coin he recently found. I have spent about a week searching every web page I can find and the closet I can find to it is 8 reales, Piece of Eight. I'm just hoping to find out if it is real or fake/ replica.

You could always have it tested to see what type of metal it is made from

Donneybrook can you post a picture of your replicas for him and are the copies silver? Here is a picture of a real one that I have. It does not look as good as the replica.

If it's a replica and made of silver it will test 925 a real one will be higher than that
