Silver Coin Pendant

Does anyone know if this is a real coin? If so what is it? Also back side posted. I cleaned it up. Setting is plated but the silver looks like a Spanish coin. No chain found and I looked hard.

that looks like one of the coins from the Mel Fisher Museum.. look real real closely at that coin, see if you faintly see the words copy on it...what Mel did was this, he melted a bar of silver from the atocha, then made copies of coins found from the Atocha..so basically you have a item from the atocha but it is a copy of a coin, just that the silver from the bar was used to make em... sure looks like one of his designs sold..check out their gift shop online too. either way its a nice find.

I think it is real, I know that they made pendants out of old reales coins. Looks like an old Bolivia reales, could be a copy. The date of the actual coin could be any where from 1596-1605. Try looking it up on wikipedia, or you can even look on ebay, and just look at bolivia reales. I'm sure someone will be selling one that looks like the one in that pendant.
