It would have been either rex (king) or regina (queen), for a single ruler. This is probably an abbreviation of the plural Latin for king and queen. It was probably on the front (oberse) "Carolus et Ionna reges." RG8 is the abbreviation, which was common. Reverse would have read (cross) "Hispania et india rvm" with open pellets for spacers.

 An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
The O coinage was the latest, and fell at least partly, and possibly completely, into the first period of the reign of Philip II (1556–1570).
CAROLVS◦ET◦IOHANARGS is one example of at least two dozen Late Series obverse legends.

Ya ok. Thanks for the input. 'RGS' abbreviation is common. I was curious because I struggled to find other examples. Thanks again for your time!

Thanks for the input. 2 dozen legend variations. Perfect. So, no, RGS does not further narrow down the date range. Got it. Thanks again
