COPIED THIS FROM A REPLY ON " WHAT IS IT?" by Mackaydon

Bomber:

The coin looks like a two maravedi (copper) piece from Lima, Peru dated 1709; minted during the first of two reigns of Philip, or Felipe, the V (5th). His first reign was between 1700 and 1724. He then abdicated to his son, Luis I, age 17, who died within a year. Philip V was restored to the throne and served a second term from 1724 to 1746.

Part of his coinage was minted in Lima, Peru. Your coin is dated 1709. The assayer's name was Cristobal Melgardjo who served only a one year term. On your coin, his signature is the "M" that appears on the reverse side within the "tic-tac-toe" upper right.

The cross in that configuration is called the Cross of Jerusalem. Two quadrants contain lions and two contain castles, representing Castile and Leon. Previously, Isabel and Ferdinand had unified Spain, when she was the Queen of Castile and Leon, while Ferdinand was the heir to the throne of Aragon. But I digress........

The R-V-M shown at the left of the date is part of HISPANIARVM, meaning 'of the Spains'; and the REX stands for 'King'.
You might consider taking it to a coin dealer, one who knows Colonial Spanish coinage and get it verified as authentic or not.
All the best,
Don....
