Sigh...

It’s a reale... a dream coin for most (me included). A REALEity for you.

Looks like an 80 at the bottom and a IIII at the top left? So 180X? Someone will know for sure.

It's a half real-looks like 1780?

My eyes suck today. Can’t tell from the pic if that is a Carlos III or IIII. I think you might be right DnD.

Drop me a pin I'll swing by after work. Just kidding 93 will be too backed up. I'd agree with the other's that it's a 1/2 real. I found my one and only Spanish silver in the front yard of a house in Roxbury. 1768 1/2 real. I was pretty surprised. Congrats on your find!
