Hello Bill,
Nice snag...it's not Seville.
It's from South America, Bolivia. date maybe 1723? ...appears to be a cut 1 reales equal to a 1/2 real.
Let me magnify it and see what that middle digit is 1700s for sure.

I think you're right Trez. The figures on the date look nearly identical. Thanks for the help ..... Bill
 

Great find!

What's your guess as to how it got there?
