Had a very heavy rain last night so I thought I would try my
luck in the park, I found this old coin, thank god the date is showing
but not much more, Any idea as to what kind of coin this is?
Thanks

OK, the quarter is 24.3 mm. If your coin is about the same, it's a 2 reales (originally at 28mm). It can't be a 1R (at 20mm). BTW, the markings on this variety of a 1/2R, 1R AND 2R ("IIII" versus "IV") all have the same legend on the obverse : CARLOS IIII DEI GRATIA then the date.

Orbitz, the coin you posted is obviously not the same as the coin you referenced here:

If you would, please place a ruler under your coin and show us that pic; thanks.
The pic above gives me no better idea of RELATIVE size of your coin; compared to what?
Don..

It's compared to the quarter right next to it, I need to invest in a tape measure.
from what I see of the markings they are identical.
I stand corrected, it isn't a 1/2 reale, it's a 1 reale
Thank you
