Looks like a Carolus IIII to me. Awesome!

Does anyone think If I acid eched it I could retreave a date

I don't think you risk much value by trying.

Nice Spanish silver ! For a moment there I though Marlboro was giving away a reale with every purchase of a pack of smokes !

Yes one with each carton lol

If you can't find a date, at least you can narrow down the window. I believe a one real coin with the bust of Carolus IIII (the one you have) should be dated in the 1791-1808 window. MacKaydon is the authority on this forum, though, and I hope he'll correct me if I'm mistaken!
