Spanish Reale

[deershed]

I posted this in "What Is It".I was pretty sure that's what I had,needed conformation.I was hoping for a date since the missing piece held the date.1788-1808

I never expected something like this to come from this area.

Also found some CW bullets.

If it's a 1R coin, it will have a diameter of 20mm; if a 1/2R, then only 18mm.
If the coin is a 1R, the date will be either 1789 or 1790 since the legend appears to read (in part) "CAROLUS IV". Though the 1R coin was produced during the years 1789 through 1808, only in those two years ('89 and '90') did the legend reflect the 'IV' versus a 'IIII'.

It's showing IV

 

[deershed]

It measures a hair over 20mm.

 

[Mackaydon]

It will still be a 1R since the 2R is 28mm.
