After "HISPAN ET IND REX" and before the 1R there's a mint-mark. If it's in that poor of condition, however, it's worth very little over melt. Cheers, ~Roman Report this Post to the Staff

TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 10/09/2007 08:23 am Spanish Colonials are a fun area to get into. Most go for 8 Reales denomination (crown-sized), but there are also some nice minors available. The one below has the same reverse as yours. It was minted under King Ferdinand VII, not Carlos III, like yours. The placement of the mint-mark, however, is identical. "Mo" on reverse after "REX" indicates that it was minted in Mexico City.

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 10/09/2007 10:42 am The catalog value of a 1776 one real coin is $3 in Very Good. However, an authentic 1776 dated coin that could well have been used in colonial America typically sells for a premium. The catalog does not show any difference in value between a 1776 and a 1799 one real coin, but the significance of the 1776 date attracts more bidders (and higher prices) on ebay.
