I was wondering if Steve might not be right on the spelling so I googled it. It is amazing what you can learn on the Internet.

Spanish Real
The real (meaning: "royal", plural: reales) was a unit of currency in Spain for several centuries after the mid-14th century, but changed in value relative to other units introduced. In 1864, the real was replaced by a new Spanish escudo, then by the peseta in 1868, when a real came to mean a quarter of a peseta
