Check out some of the coins on this website:

Not exactly the same but pretty close. I understand that this coin was heavily counterfeited so it my not be real. I hope this helps.

It looks like a Portuguese 100 or 200 Reis.

Rob

I think you could be right

 

[WhiteHunter]

This is the same as mine

200 Reis or 12 Vinténs, 1829
Estimate: £100-£120

WELL DONE

Never had one of those. Had several foriegns this year, but always susprises me how they may have got here.

Is this the range site?

 

[WhiteHunter]

same here no its a beach/cliff site

 

[CRUSADER]

On cleaning it, my suggestion would first be to keep it 'as is'. However if you want to give it a delicate clean, then stick it in Lemon juice for a fews minutes & rub off the tarnish. Keep repeating as required.

 

[WhiteHunter]

thanks for that i still don't know if i should clean it

If you not sure, best leave it. You can always clean it in 5 or 10 years time. What you can't do is undo any cleaning.
