1 Reale

AP552 · Mar 9, 2016

Got out to the fields today and managed to find some Spanish silver. Rang up a nice high 82 and was about 6 inches down. Only part of the date I can read is the last # which is 6. I can read Carlos pretty clear but not sure if it's III or IIII. Either way pretty happy, thanks for looking. HH

It's an 1806 Carlos IIII 1 Real minted in Mexico

Very nice!
That's from the time Napoleon was rising to power in Europe! So cool! :treasurechest:

Really cool find! Hey just so you know(I learned this last night) a single real is spelled "real" the plural is reales. By no means calling you out for spelling because I always spelled it the same as you. Just happened to be reading last night and noticed this. Congrats on a killer coin

Now I would be offended!! Not really, I just learned something new myself. Thanks. I always wrote reale with the one I found. Thanks for the new info and a great find OP. So you really spell a real real real, and not reale? So what is a fake real called?

I've tried previously to correct others on the "real" versus "reale" spelling, but for some reason "reale" has stuck here as the main spelling. So I gave up and accepted the misspelling, haha.

Maybe if we all band together we can conquer this butchering of such a simple word 8-)

Let's do it! Teamwork! It's a simple thing that in Spanish, you pronounce each syllable. So, if it's spelled "reale" you're really calling it a "re-al-ay". So maybe we should just start typing, "NICE RE-AL-AY!!" when it's butchered.
