Anyone know what this is? It's about the size of a US quarter.

Thanks!

This is a modern fantasy issue, designed like a Spanish real. The legends are meaningless.

Grandpa and great-grandpas sure seem to have a lot of fake coins. At least the OP posted decent pictures so we could evaluate.

I think it is genuine.

Sorry Sel, but it's a commonly encountered modern replica, sold to tourists at "pirate-themed" tourist traps. We have seen the exact sample item on the forum many, many times before. See examples in this thread, this thread and this thread; that last one has the story confirmed by Swamperbob, who owns one with the tourist souvenir parchment still attached.
