In all likelihood, this is a U.S. eagle, counterstamped on an 1807 Spanish two real piece. Silversmiths typically used tiny touchmarks on their products to indicate coin silver was used. If I can ever match this mark to a particular silversmith, an attribution may perhaps be made.

Spanish coins and those from other countries freely circulated in U.S. states and terriitory, prior to the Civil War. Following the war, Spanish coins remained in circulation, mostly out west as necessity money, but to a far lesser extent.
