OK, the quarter is 24.3 mm. If your coin is about the same, it's a 2 reales (originally at 28mm). It can't be a 1R (at 20mm). BTW, the markings on this variety of a 1/2R, 1R AND 2R ("IIII" versus "IV") all have the same legend on the obverse : CARLOS IIII DEI GRATIA then the date.

Orbitz, the coin you posted is obviously not the same as the coin you referenced here:

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.
I stand corrected, it isn't a 1/2 reale, it's a 1 reale
Thank you
