Hey everyone,
I found this a while back detecting, and did not realize until recently it is different than all of the others like it I have seen. The coin is a Ferdinand VII 1816 Half Escudo 8 reales, but it has a J on the left side of Ferdinand, and an 8 on the right. Every other one like this I have researched does not have these markings. I also posted this question in the whatzit forum. I am just unfamiliar with Spanish coins. Sorry for the poor quality of pic. Thanks
