Perhaps a silver counterfeit of this gold 2 escudos posted by GWDigger

Nice find. Sorry I can’t help with the ID.

It has the features of a 1740's type 2 escudos from Santa Fe De Bogota. You can tell because of the shortened cross terminals. It's some kind of token, or a gilded contemporary fake.

Thanks cuz, it's definitely silver - perhaps the assayer used the wrong punch? Or just a colonial counterfeiter
