I was sent this from a person and I am struggling to identify this coin.

All help is appreciated it and I cannot get better pictures as this is what he sent me.

I misspoke. The link works, but clicking on the small image to get a larger image just hangs.

It is a thoroughly fake replica of a Spanish 8-reale coin. These brass things are commonly sold as replicas for a variety of novelty purposes.

A very old Spanish coin at the era of Isabella I.

Looks more like a "cast mystery coin".

I remember, that I had one of those copies in my hands, probably not made of silver and not a mystery at all (it mimicks a silver real of toledo).

It might be an old forgery, though.
