Hello all!
I can't determine the denomination of year range on this coin... Looks like it could be from early to late 1800's... *SHRUG*

Any help would be appreciated...

Hey Paul Did that get the heart rate up a bit? lol Nice score, and DaddyDigger is right thumbsup01 But I am not sure if it's an 8 reales. I wonder if they made them smaller It's about the size of a 1/2 or 1 reale (inflation you know lol) Dating it is going to be hard though. At least you know where the date is located now. Maybe you can see some of it. Nice find!!
Finding relics is in my blood
