Congrats! What a great feeling. You know they are there, but until it shows up, it's almost impossible

Some good detail on that one. I like the contrast between the light and dark areas on the reverse of the coin. It makes everything so well highlighted.

Congrats on getting that stubborn monkey off your back. As others have said a nice looking coin too.
Now that you got your first maybe there will be many more ?
Maybe you don't care , but here's how it went for me, it took about 5-6 years for my first Spanish, the next year, 2013 I got 6 Spanish. 3 of 2 reale pieces in a week, 2 of those the same day, one of which was also a 1776.
Consider where you are it is definitely possible for it to happen.
Side note, even though many of the Spanish coins don't have a lot of value money wise, compared to many US coins, they do look good in the display.
Good Luck Out There !
