✅ SOLVED Old Silver, but from where?

[rick67]

Was detecting a former German Bund site. Managed a 1944 Nickel missed dating the site by three years.
Dug this up also. "Carol III" Got me?

Also rang up odd if it's silver. 75 on AT Pro.

That's a Spanish Half real. A good portion of the 1700s date is there... under the bust

Rick,

If it's Carol 111 it's Spanish silver.

This variety (showing the armored bust of the ruler--versus a crowned shield) was minted during the period 1772 through 1789; and contained 90% silver + or - depending upon the year.
Great ID IP and Bill; certainly not much to go on.
Don.......
