Your second pic is a bit out of focus. I would try to post a better one, and include both sides of the coin if you can.

The pic's are not clear enough.

The last pic - there seems to be the bottom
and lower sides of a shield......
1/2 reale?
Just a guess!

Congrats on the half real

I was gonna say the hOle in it helps identify it a bit. I don't think I've ever seen a holed coin that small that wasnt a half Reale. Great find!

I had similar thoughts.

BOOM! Half real. Slick but Spanish. Well played sir.

I agree. Looks like a holed 1/2 Reale. Would not be much use in putting a hole in a junk piece of metal to wear around your neck.

Thanks for the help.
