Looks real to me. A clipped Spanish silver coin. Experts will chime in, I'm sure. Congrats!

You found and early Spanish Quarter! Hahaha! A 2 bit coin. Nice find!

I own one of these cut coins that is a replica, and comes with a placard description of what it is, and a little history behind the story of it. to me it looks like your find is the reale deal! Congrats on a unique find!

Send it to me and I’ll check it out. It will only cost you a clip of silver and a stamp.
Nice hit!

Nice. That's an old one. Don't drop it. I found a clipped 1721 that looked much like that. Just sitting in my spoil pile. Saw a glimmer. You can see how easily they are lost. Tiny light little things.
