Found Old Silver

[harc257]

Thrilled with this silver find. From what I can make out on the coin and researching, it appears to be a 1789 1 REAL - CHARLES IV.
Looking for anyone who can confirm this or can tell it is a different coin. My last dig before dark today. Depth of coin was 6 inches.
Happy New Year to all!

In the reverse legend of your 1R coin is the (overlapping) monogram 'PTS'; the mintmark indicating the coin was produced at the mint in Potosí, Bolivia. The P and the R are the initials of the assayers, Pedro Narciso de Mazondo and Raimundo de Iturriaga who worked together from 1776-1795.
