1754 1/2 reale

[The Fog]

We got permission to swing an old homesite with some surrounding grass fields today, some cool finds, shoe buckle, lead bale seals, KGII, lamp parts, etc. etc. I have found a few half reales before but they were always in poor shape. This one is quite worn and showing the battle-scars of a farm field but I was pretty happy to find it.

That is a beautiful coin. Very happy for you! Mexico City mintmark? How does the size compare to a modern US dime?

I want my first Spanish silver soooooo badly. : )
