Here's a guide to the Spanish Reales. Yours is Mexico City (the "M" with the little "o" over it)
Coin Value: Spain Spanish Colonial 1/2, 1, 2, 4, and 8 Reales (Carolus III and IIII) 1772 to 1808

The problem is the year. The El Cazador sank in 1784 with a hold full of 500,000 just minted/uncirculated 1783 Reales of various denominations. Glutted the market for 1783 Reales, making them more common than 1928 Philadelphia mint Peace Dollars.
