Re: sliver of silver?
Looks like about 1/16th of an 8 reale. 6.25 cents
or 1/16th of a 4 reale. 3.125 cents. Like a US 3 cent piece.

This is the smallest I've seen, but you had to have correct change or you would more than likely pay more for what you were getting. And surely you wouldn't let a merchant cut on for you fairly.

Re: sliver of silver?
Is there an "00" on the coin, or am I imagining it?
Is the edge reeded?

To save us some time, have it tested for silver. If its Spanish, it would have been used in the late 1700's before America minted coinage.
