It's like 16 1/2mm, I don't have a scale to weigh it

Re: 1801 spanish coin found in park this morning, Anyone know what kind?

At 16.5mm, I think it's safe to say it's a 1/2R.

Re: 1801 spanish coin found in park this morning, Anyone know what kind?

My concern is the coin appears bigger than the width of the finger; and if the coin is 16.5mm across, the finger would be even smaller. Can you remeasure that coin's diameter, please.

Orbitz, the coin pic you first posted is obviously not the same as the coin you referenced here:
http://www.trocadero.com/Ancient1/items/1066976/item1066976store.html
If you would, please place a ruler under your coin and show us that pic; thanks.
The pic above gives me no better idea of RELATIVE size of your coin; compared to what?
Don..

It's compared to the quarter right next to it, I need to invest in a tape measure.
from what I see of the markings they are identical.
