Good score on the cut silver....doubt it can be dated based on the first 2 digits.

Freakin awesome man!! Imagine the history of that coin?? Wonder what the last thing bought with it could have been?? Cool find!!

I think it is a 1719-1733 Spanish reale due to the date being on the top of the coin.

This may help,
