But it deosn't look like I can.

 

It would help if you gave us more information, like size, weight, metal composition, etc . . . .

But until then, compare yours to this:

Ps: It may be a counterfeit.

 

Its meant to be a 2 escudo (presumably gold) from a Spanish colonial mint (Lima) during the reign of Philip V. The date is 170-something. I couldn't comment on authenticity, not having looked at this gold coinage.

 

I beat ya by 5 seconds.

Perhaps, but I only saw the thread waaaay after you did.

 

That last digit doesn't look right. It looks like a partial zero, but it may be a 5. :kewl:

Ps: Do you have a 1705 2 Escudos that you can post for comparison? I can't find one.
