[G.A.P.metal]

Went to an old cabin site close to home was a corn field last yr. and this year it`s been to wet the plant so the late crop will be Buck Wheat planed real soon.
Picked up an 1830 Large Cent,small cal.round ball,lead seal,and some flat Gilt Buttons, and a little silver coin that i think is Spanish Silver and some iron.
Had a good time but it got real hot so i went into the woods and took a nap HH

If it's that small, it's definitely a 1/2 real.

 

[FreeBirdTim]

It has to be from the 1771 to 1825 time period, due to the bust on the front.

The Spanish coin has the profile of Carlos III (1750-1788) but during the early reign of Carlos IV (1788-1808) the bust of Carlos III was still being minted. What didn't change was the diameter of coins. The 1/2 real's diameter is 18 mm and that of the 1R is 20 mm.

G.A.P. Metal,
You're welcome; and yes, the coin is composed of silver--either 0.9030 (between 1772 and 1784) or 0.8960 (between 1785 and 1790); which is also another way to reduce the year of mintage range without seeing the date.
