What Kind of Reale is This?

[mtnbay]

I had a great day out in the hills in Northern California. 2nd to last signal of the day gave up this beautiful 1822 reale. Try as I might I cannot find the exact coin online anywhere. One side says Hispania Rum Rex. The other side says Ferdin. VII Dei Gratia. I appreciate any help anyone can give me as well as a source online to positively identify this coin.

It looks like it could use a good baking soda, aluminum foil and hot water bath

This worked wonders on my 1774 2 Reale last year.

Looks Spanish to me.

I appreciate everybody's input and replies. Sorry I have not replied sooner as I have been out of town on business the last few days. Happy Hunting out there.

King Ferdinand the 7th. Here's what I believe is your coin.... https://www.google.com/search?q=2+r...UICigB&biw=1014&bih=671#imgrc=f56u6nWkt0ASkM:

Thanks UncleMac. I appreciate it!

it is odd to find it too....i would think northern California would have a Mexico mint mark, especially given that at that time Mexico had been in revolution for years and the coins coming out of the mints were very poorly, even crudely struck.
