Found my first Spanish Silver (half reale, I think)😀

[Underwonder]

I was so excited to find my first Spanish Silver! I think it is a half reale (a little less than 18mm). It is very worn and thin. Maybe someone with more experience can identify a mint mark and or country of origin.

I was using the Equinox 600 with the 6 inch coil in Park 1 Multi and it rang up as 20-21 so I thought it was a penny or scrap copper. When I started removing the dirt I thought it might be a button…But then WooHoo….it was a coin that looked Spanish.!!!!and most of the date was readable! 177?7. I was so excited.

I also found part od a button that looks like it says “Canada” and has a crown at the top but can’t make out what it is. It also has an animal in the middle.
