My best coin find!

[lv2sign804]

I went digging in a field today and found a coin. It's very worn so I couldn't find a date. After I posted it on VA finds, I started looking it up online and found a coin that looks similar to mine. Reading about it, it seems it could be a 1669 spanish reale! It looks like "01" for the denomination? I've never seen one before today, so any information about it would be great. Thank you in advance for looking.

Nice find! Yours is indeed a 1669 1 reale, made at the Potosi Mint in Bolivia. Here's some more info: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces51864.html

An uncommon piece of silver, great find!

It's a cob, hammered silver. Everyone would love to find one of these, very few people do though.

Many people are envious... including me!
