Need help identifying this coin

[rosskarels]

I found this coin and I know nothing about coins but it looks interesting. Please help

 

[Fixitdave]

No idea but cool thanks for sharing

Looks fake, but I only say that based on the fuzzy pics.
Clearer pics will help.

 

[BigWaveDave]

Details on how and where you found it will also help.

I wish there was a size comparison. If it has decent size to it I'd say it's a fake Royal.

Well at least one of us so far knows what it is because I am at a loss.

A fake of what kind of coin?

The suspense is killing me.

What country did you find it in?

And there ya go:

Coin Value: Peru EXANO / REXANO Fake 8 Reales (Counterfeit) 1736

Take clear pictures of it along side a penny or quarter.
Do you know what it is made of? Test it with a magnet for any kind of iron content. (Counterfeit )
Where was it found, eg: beach, woods, park, purchased, etc?

Oh, and welcome to Tnet.

It looks like it has a raised edge around it which is sign it is fake.

It's a fake 1736 Spanish Colonial (Potosi Mint) 8 Escudos, not an 8 reales.
Very common fake been around for long time.
