Beautiful silver! I believe it's a Half Real though. If it was a 1, the back would have "1R." This one has "R"

That thing has some nice meat left on it

Actually, it's a 1/2 real.
Note there is no "1" before the "R" (after "IND"). Had the coin been a 1 real, there would be a '1' in that position. Another way to determine the denomination is by its diameter. Your coin's diameter should be close to 18mm whereas a 1R coin would have a 20 mm diameter. Either way, both coins are composed of .9027 fine silver and were minted in Mexico City.
Congrats on your find !!

Could you repost your reale next to a dime or penny. A half reale is just a little smaller than a 1 reale. Still could be a 1 reale.

Bill the 1 Real has a 1 in front of the R and the half does not

Nice find. The color looks a little off for silver. They did make counterfeits at the time. It's possible your's could be one. For size comparison, here's 3 pieces I found last year. A 2, 1 and 1/2 real.
