Hello and welcome to the forum. 
The design is that of a "Reyes Catolicos" real, or multiple thereof, struck in Spain in the early 1500s. These were made of silver. Given the greenish-grey patches on the reverse and the brownish colour it appears in the photo, I'd assume yours is bronze or brass.
It's higher-quality than the commonly-encountered replica with garbled lettering that pops up on the forum regularly (here is the latest example), but I'm afraid yours is still a replica.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
