Hello Jazmyn49,
Welcome to the Spanish cob forum...
Can you give us some more info? did you find? area found, date range of area etc...
Look kinda like a crude 1747 Potosi, jumbled and poorly struck kinda messing with positive ID.
q was assayer for that time, but just looks poor. whats the weight? looks to be a 1 real.
maybe someone with better eyes can help more.

I agree with Trez. Assayer's name: Luis de Quintanilla.
Weight should be about 2.1 grams for a 1 real coin.

Trez nailed it. The late Potosi era of cobs is known for poor quality. It was like the last dance for the cobs in the New World, and the attention to detail was lacking. If I remember, I'll take a picture of one special piece that I have.
