I cannot even find the information to identify the coin, much less the mint. Trick question? I'd like to learn.

We've kinda slid away from the dated coins rule as noted in the intro, but I'll play from the first date in your range and go with 1787.

Mexico (Spanish Colonial): silver half-real, Mexico City mint, 1787-FM.

I found this little beauty on St. Simons Island, Georgia, while metal detecting near the site of General James Oglethorpe's long-vanished villa that he had occupied during the founding of Frederica town in the 1730s. This coin was lost later, obviously, after he went back to England, but there was an old plantation on the same site in the later 1700s and early 1800s.

I had found a holed 1776 half-real on the same site the night before, just a few feet from where I dug this one. Exciting stuff!

So that's 1787 or Mexico or any Spanish Colonial to the next player.
