Second time out, fake 1792 8 escudos?

[Golden Pull-tab]

Hit my parents yard again, nothing special for most part, until I came across this coin, I know the real 8 escudos is gold, this looks brass, possibly a colonial fake?

I have four of those, 1792, all within 3 feet of each other. They are made out of pewter and were dipped in brass to give them the "gold" color. Counterfeit. I posted my best looking one.

I found this one while cleaning out a storage unit, it was in a drawer, that answers questions regarding the material, as the "gold" color is shining through on mine,
these are interesting, where does this tolken come from, it's a counterfeit?
