First Spanish Silver! Cut Phillip V Pistareen!

[mangum]

Our local club searched the grounds of a mid 1700s church today & I found my first Spanish silver! This has been on my bucket list a while! It's a cut pistareen (2 reale) (they would cut the coin to make change). It was minted in Seville Spain (S mint mark) during the reign of Phillip V & dates 1719-1745.

I'm kinda surprised that is your first Spanish considering some of the other stuff you post. I'm sure it won't be your last.
