kmk,
The mintmark Large M small O is from Mexico City.
Can you post a pic of both sides of your 'XX17' coin?

Adding: Does the '17' coin have JJ after the Mo?

No jj after the little "0" over the big "M"

Assuming the same size as your first coin, it's another 1/2R. The last number in the date appears to be a 9. Only two dates in that series (1772-1789) ended with a 9: 1779 and 1789. The third number looks more like it could be an 8 versus a 7--so I'd call it a 1789 1/2R from Mexico City.
Thanks for posting the pics.
