Congratulations on a really great find. Definitely a Spanish silver cob coin. I’m no expert but it looks like the shield of Philip II so that would make it 1556-1598. From the picture if your hand is average size it might be a 4 reale or half Spanish dollar. It looks like the side markings might be worn off so the only way to tell the value is by weight.
Great job and keep swingin.

This is a piece of eight.
8 reales = 27.3 grams on average.
It has been clipped at some point.... which was common practice in those days.
