To determine the denomination, an 8 reales coin is about 27 grams; with proportionate divisions for the 4, 2, 1 and 1/2 reales.
Another way: an 8 reales will be 40mm in diameter; the 4--34mm; the 2--28mm;--the 1--20mm and the 1/2--18mm.

looks like a carollus 1797. search "spanish Reales" a web site I used gives pics of all Reales and you have enough details to get all you need. my 1/2 Reale is 5/8", the 1R will be a bit larger. my 1R was a 1781 Carollus that sold for $20. great find

If it's 1797 (what it looks like to me) then it's Carlos IV, (minted 1788-1808), nice find for sure , but not worth that much. Congrats on the find though!

Its a good find Am still searching for any of that old Spanish silver, maybe if luck is on my side, I find one someday here !

Wow, thanks for posting this! It reminded me that my Half Reale was soaking in some toothpaste in a cup, which had gotten thrown away! I'm lucky I got it before trash went out!
