Thats a great find. I have yet to find colonial silver. I've got a few coppers but the silver eludes me. Congratulations on an excellent score

Great Stuff. My grandmother has a locket like that my grandfather gave her in the 1940s just after WWII. She put a picture of him on one side and her on the other way back then. He died young. She still wears the locket.

Does the 2 on the back mean 2 reale? I thought it would say 8 if it is an 8 reale?
still a nice day!

Great find on the 2 reale! If it were an 8 you would know it...very large and very heavy! A 2 reale is nothing to sneeze at though...nice way to break into the old silver!

Congrats on the 2 Reale, they are not too common of a find, most Spanish Silver found are the tiny half real. You can modify your title and/or any text in your post by clicking on Modify.................
