Thank you for your previous commits. I believe, real or not, this is a Shielded Cob. One side you can make out the Spanish shield surrounded with dots and a few letters on the bottom right. On the other side is what is left of a cross with a clover like border. Please take a second look and share your thoughts, thanks.

I have no doubt that you are correct in ID'ing it as such, or at least what it was styled after. However, it just doesn't look real. "Look" doesn't always prove correct, but often does.
 

It almost looks similar to the Atocha coin but is far enough off to think that it is a "fantasy piece" or a poorly cast counterfeit.
