    Hmmm. This is quite tricky in the respect that independent Mexico made these in massive quantities for export. As such, I'm going to guess the coin in question happens to be an 1836 8 Reales (unknown mint).

    That narrows things down, but not by much.

    There’s a king of Spain on the obverse, I’ll say that much.

    Not Philip V. (And a free Pillar dollar would stretch my generosity somewhat. LOL) ;)

    Unrelated, but here's a Bolivian 8R I sold back in February.

    Nope. But that’s a bit closer than 1743, anyway.

    I need a cob in my collection, having sold my others. I want a gold cob, but they ain’t cheap.

    Good guess, and closer still, but not there.

    Heck, I wanted to keep it, but the want to make some extra money won out.

    My example isn't exactly also but it's got nice detail and quite attractive for being underwater for a few hundred years.

    You have to let two other people guess in between each of your own guesses.

    @potty dollar jumped the gun so two more people get a guess before he can go again.
