<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 4439837, member: 102103&quot;]Got this unidentified for a modest price, thinking it was a colonial Spanish coin.</p><p>I was having trouble finding a match, but now I think it&#039;s probably a Seville mint 2 reales, Felipe V, 1737, like <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces44666.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces44666.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a> on Numista.&nbsp; It should be 27 mm dia, but mine is a little over 25 mm, making me wonder if it is a fake.&nbsp; Comparing to the one below (not mine), it looks as the design is clipped around the edges in a consistent way, too much for just wear and tear.&nbsp; The top of the crown is cut off, and the letter tops touch the edge instead of having a strong border.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Could this be authentic, but shaved around the edges to make a clipped coin?[ATTACH=full]1110245[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110247[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1110248[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
