Silver coin I.D.?

[joetoilet]

A friend of mine found this a few weeks ago and we haven't been able to I.D. it....this is the only pic I have of it...I will be able to take a better/closer pic this Saturday...He said the other side is more worn than this one...I can make out a L on it? Looks like the sail of a sail boat...It rang up silver dime on his Ace350...I haven't held the coin yet...but maybe someone here has a idea..thanks for looking..HH

Wow, good ID on that one.

As steelheadwill points out the "7" numeral in the date and the "OL" (for Carolus) seem to ID it as a 1700's Spanish Colonial silver reale (or half reale) but......does anybody else see what looks like to be armor going way up the neck? That aspect of it doesn't seem to fit a Spanish Colonial bust coin

Good id I was trying to think of that dang coin and couldn't find it on my search engine it kept bringing up carol Burnett or Christmas Carolers

What surprises me is that it took almost an hour for someone to reply

Over on Friendly Metal detecting forum they have a overlay of a real..and the above coin it's pretty amazing...it's under coin I.D. I'll take pic's this Saturday, but I don't think it will be as nice as what they did...I hope I'm not breaking any rules about mentioning another metal detecting forum..If I am please forgive me.
