Foreign Coin Identification needed

[Mayo South Elgin]

While out on a short hunt I got this coin.
We couldn't determine what it was - any ideas?
I don't know if it's really old, or something commemorative that's made to look old.
It appears to be brass or bronze, I didn't measure it but size is between quarter and half dollar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Glad you found it rather than first paying for it.

Only the very oldest sites in the US would give you a shot at an authentic one, or a lot of luck. I like those old reales a lot but late 1600s is the best we can do here, or I expect us to ever do. The 8 reale from that era I think is the best looking Spanish silver and every time I see a nice one I'm tempted to buy it.
