Spanish silver. Nice find

by the size of it, it looks to be a 1/2 reale, though tough without a size comparison. Congrats!

Only worth the weight in silver, but certainly has a whole lot more meaning than that finding one. Let's see.... someone buys you a coffee, or find old Spanish silver... not a tough choice!

Nice indeed! Bet you didn't find that in a schoolyard. LOL

Welcome to Treasurenet and congrats on your Spanish silver! Like IP said, it's worth much more in a historical sense as an artifact than it is as a coin. If it's your first 1700's coin, congrats on that as well.

That's a 1700s SPANISH silver... that thing is priceless! I do not know where you are, because your profile does not tell me, but if you found that around here (NC), you would be a hero! The condition is terrible, but it is a Spanish silver from the 1700s... congrats on a really awesome find. L

Oh yeah, welcome to TNet.
