Looks similiar to a realle but, have never seen a obverse like that. What can you make out of the writing I see ERS then next word or saying is DE?
How many mm is it?

 

[john sullivan]

26 mm and is copper, i thought reale's were silver

 

[MikeO]

Actually they are called maraved

 

[john sullivan]

i think this the observe. checked the maravedis. some were close but not the same

 

[MikeO]

I am not saying to do this BUT, being it has no date and appears almost a smoothie with what appears to be a tiny hole at 7 o'clock position this is steps I would take personally.
Get a piece of aluminum foil and rub the surface of the coin this will highlight what you might not be seeing. It will brighten even the faintest high spots possibly allowing you to see the wording etc.
Did that on a what appeared to be a smoothie LC and I was able to see it was a flowing hair that was dateless and a cull but, made it identifiable. Atleast I knew what it was.

 

[john sullivan]

i think i am on a hot trail, French Billon Sous Marquese coinage. the aluminum help but no more letters visable

 

[MikeO]

Great so you identified it so, from what years could it be from?
WTG

 

[john sullivan]

not a positive id but most of the 1700 cions have the same marking. and have the lettering (NAV) as my coin does.at least i know where to look.
