Speakeasy New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/16/2026 12:15 pm Hoping someone can help identify this coin. 1761 Spain 2 reales. weights 3.54g. Obverse has assayers initials (PL?) on left side and mintmark (M) on right side. From what I've been able to research the mintmark is supposed to be on left and initials on right. Also I haven't been able to find any initials PL only JP. * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images.

Here are better pics of the coin: I have not looked yet, but I wonder if it might be in Kleeberg ? Edited by Albert 03/17/2026 10:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

Speakeasy New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/19/2026 1:56 pm Thank you Albert for helping me and for posting better images of the coin. I am not familiar with Kleeberg coins but I will read up and hopefully learn a lot more! Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 03/19/2026 3:28 pm I don't think this is in Kleeberg, but some replies I hoped to read have not come in. It could be variety of a forgotten coin of colonial America. Or one of the Un-real Reales. Let's for some more members to find your post and reply. By the way your coin is what I like to collect so I always look for them at coin shows and online shopping. Edited by Albert 03/19/2026 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 655 Posts	Posted 04/09/2026 6:06 pm M with crown would be the Madrid mint. It makes no sense as a modern fake, with the wrong weight. Perhaps contemporary? The 7 in the date is very different from the punch used at Madrid at the time. Amazing if it circulated with so many things off. Report this Post to the Staff
