Got a new permission to a spot in VA where I have been finding tombac buttons and such and found this! I believe it to be a Spanish Reale. Not sure if it's 1/2, 1, 2 etc, just excited that I found it!....Looks like the date is/was 1682!

Welcome to the 1600s silver club! That’s a beautiful cob with fantastic detail and a nice date. Those babies don’t pop up often and are a very special find imo

Congrats on an outstanding find. Living in Illinois, it will be very tough for me to find a coin in the 1600's. You never know though, maybe some day.
