old Silver coin help

[Whippetdog]

I am reposting this with a better explanation in the title to get more interest/help. Does anyone know what this could be. Found it this week end hunting for civil war relics. It does have a 61 on it. A few earlier posts on the first posting saying a Mexican Reale from the Polosi mint.

Help??

Thanks
Gary

Gary,
What other type of explanation do you need? Do you want the mint, denomination, value...what is it that you seek? I believe the members here have provided you with your answer "equal" to your
Your title "old silver coin help"
Be more specific on the info you are wanting...

Meant to say Spanish Reale from Potosi mint.

Thanks everyone, I did get enough info to search online and find out what it is.It is nice to have a forum to get info from other members.

Trez, to answer your question, yes, more info meant just denomination. Only info I have found was on an 8 Reale. This coin looks like it, but at half the size. Have not had the means to weight it.
