My first Reale and my first silver half dollar!

[rsilva02667]

I went back out to my hot spot this morning with my brother. On the way out there I was telling him how there has to be Spanish silver out here because it was so popular during the time period that were finding the coins from. My first coin was the merc then a little while later I found the franklin half, followed by my first 2 Reale!






I cleaned the reale using electrolysis because I could barely read it. Now I think I can read the date, looks like 1794! Happy hunting everyone!

nice real! The 1 real I believe is roughly the size of a nickel, and the 2 real is roughly quarter size. Can't quite tell from the pics which is it. If all else fails you can always weigh it.

Sometimes you just have to throw it out there into the universe!

Great find, brother. Congrats on the Spanish cerise.

1794 makes sense. The 1R has a diameter of 20mm; the 2R--28mm and the 4R--34mm.
One variety shows CARLOS IV and the other (yours) shows CARLOS IIII; both contain .896 fine silver.
Nice save!!
