Wow... very nice find!! Does the coin have any unusual markings like "copy" or something
else. The reason I ask, is my dad bought me a reproduction coin of a real, that was made
from some of the silver that was found on the shipwreck Atocha. It was attached to a
silver chain and looks very similar to your coin. Once again, very nice find!!!!

I went to a coin collector in Georgia,a friend of family and he said the reale was from around 1618.. HE THEN OFFERED ME 3000 FOR IT. Of course I did not sell . It already had a hole in it,so I had a necklace made.I think someone lost it from a chain . I have more finds to post from vacation just been tired .. Jim

I can't say I have ever seen a Spanish Reale dating to 1618 that was quite so shiny as that....Not even close! Looking forward to seeing some clear shots of it....

That's reassuring news for me that you found a reale. Means that there's still treasure there when I go next week.
