help ID this coin

Picked up a new coin. It is larger than a Morgan dollar. Maybe from Spain. Dated 1796.
Bust on front. Some kind of seal or coat of arms on reverse. Crown at top. To the left of the crown there is a M. Little marks around the rim like the new G. Washington dollar. Thin silver color coating has worn through to reveal copper color.
Inscription on obverse says:
Ferdinan.IVDG.Siciliar.ET.HIE.REX There is a P. at bottom of coin.
Reverse INFANS 1796 HISPANIAR At 9 o'clock is the letter A. At 3 o'clock is the letter P.
At bottom of reverse is G.120
Sorry can't shrink photos to post. Any guess as to what I have? It's big.
