First Spanish Silver

[{Sentinel}]

Hello Gentlemen, I found my first Spanish silver today and was wondering if someone could tell me what type it is...It looks like a 1/2 Reale to me but am not sure, except that it is pretty small.... Just follow the link and you will see it:

Great find Sentinel!

Was this found at the beach? If silver it could be a 1/2 or 1 reale Charles II (CAS). Do you see numbers under the C? Those would be the year (i.e. 684 for 1684). What is its weight?

HH!

Moe, this wasn't found on the beach but in a colonial area. Don't see a date on it but do see a "CA" on the back Was told that it is an early cob which I concur...1/2 reale
