Hi there. The symbol on the lower piece looks very similar to that i have seen on British cannons. The numerals also look similar to some I saw engraved in a concrete slab dated 1937. That's just my opinion however, I'm not an expert. Good luck!

Yes! Very nice!

It's a cut Reale that is counter-marked for colonial use.



I have dug cut Spanish Reales before but I've never seen one with a counter stamp like that.
