What type of real?

[Ewell’s retreat]

Going through some of my older coins that I haven’t looked at in probably 10 years and came across this coin that I never knew what it was. It’s not in very good shape at all and as far as I can tell it’s a Philip V Spanish real from the early 1700’s. Can anyone maybe help with a little more info? It’s about the size of a quarter and these are the best pictures I can provide since the website will only let me log on with my phone.

Found another one. This one is about the size of a us nickel but much thinner. Believe the date is 1722 or 1729.

I do believe that is a pistareen, worth 2 reales. They were very heavily used here in the colonies.

Thank you for the information!

Ewell's Retreat - photo tip: take the picture on a solid background. Camera's with auto-focus will try and focus on the lettering in your background instead of the coin's details.
