This poor replica represents a silver coin, so why would it be replicated in gold?
I would think a gold replica coin would replicate a gold coin, not a silver coin.

Unfortunately for @RZY2K, real or not it sill belongs to Spain. He should prepare himself for a long legal battle...

Why would someone go to the trouble to hide something in the sand for such a long time, and it be encrusted with marine crustacean which as you might know attaches itself permanently to a variety of surfaces. this has bothered me can this be said it's not real I am so glad that God allowed me to make such a find please thanks to all for your input positive or other wise I need to hear what ever it might be.

Back in the 1960s every souvenir & trinket shop in every tourist trap would have bowls of similar sitting on the counter for sale. Even today if you go to Tombstone Az. you can buy tokens for an all-nighter in the cribs that I must say, appear almost authentic. Eighteen inches doesn't really mean a lot. I found a bunch of high end silverware over a foot down on a private beach. It wasn't till I got down to the layer of Hot Wheels I saw what was going on & and some little guy was in for a butt blistering.
