That looks to be a Spanish or Spanish colonial (S America or Spanish Indies) 2 Real coin (or a quarter of a piece of 8). I don't know much about them, nor do I have books that go back that far for Spain/S America etc.

P.S.

For people browsing the forum Leevan, can you put more desriptive titles for the posts? Even the writing on the coin is more descriptive than No.3. Thanks mate

Sorry, Chris, I don't really know anything about them so more or less left the title blank.

Obviously these commemorative coins are of little interest to collectors so I'll try and dig out something a little more interesting.

You certainly know your stuff, mind.

Leevan,

Thanks, I don't really. It's just that it's all the usual stuff that people ask about! Over the years I have simply learnt about what people always ask about.

The Spanish coin is currency and I certainly find it interesting.
