Coin appears to be as you said, but the weight seems light. The standard weight is 3.43 grams for a one real; or 1.71g for a half real.
Yours, at 1.2g, is about 30% light of the standard yet your coin does not reflect a 30% decrease in weight due to environmental issues, clipping or other issues.

What you wrote interests me.
Can you cite the source that writes about Spanish coins weighing 20% less than standard?
