    I guess, it is 2 reales from Spanish colonies (Mexico city Mint).

    1600s to 1700. Shortly after King Carlos II died in 1700 without an heir, the house of Habsburg ended and the new House of Bourbon came into power with Philip V being named King of Spain. His coinage carried his likeness on the coins, whereas all previous kings had their coat of arms on the heads side of their coinage.
