Bought this today, not sure exactly what it is. I tried comparing to other coins of the same design, but I couldn't match it up with anything. It shares the same design as a mexican real, but a few details are off and it's not the exact same thing. It is for sure a silver planchet, could it be a counterfeit made back in the day? It has a die rotation of about 30 degrees and is the size of a silver dollar. Thank you.
