Without authentication first, no value can be given.
How about a pic of the other side?
And what is weight (in grams) and diameter (in mm)?
Thanks
Don..

It looks like a copper 2 maravedis -- maybe 1720?

What threw me off was the OP saying the coin is the size of a quarter. As a 2 maravedis, it should be about the size of a nickel.The "R" that I thought I saw to the left of the shield (signifying real or reales) is actually a "B" (Barcelona mint) as shown more clearer in Bramblefind's post.

The image is that of a lion, crowned with scepter and sword with two spheres representing both worlds at his feet. The lion represents the protector of virtue in both worlds--the old and the new, perhaps.

Thank you very much for the info..you guys are spot on. Like I said I don't actually have this coin .my buddy dug it yesterday and all I had was the pics and a about size. Either way it's a nice find. I'm glad he got a cool coin.
