The central shield makes me think Portuguese rather than Spanish, but I don't know either.

EDIT: Best I can tell from Numista examples, it's probably either a 10 reis from 1675-1799, or a 20 reis from 1800-1874 (photo is upside down compared to Numista reference photos). Hard to say more precisely - the monarch's name, if visible, would have been pretty much exactly under your finger (and the date would have been on the reverse).

Can you please also post a pic of the other side of the coin?

Hi well I am amazed anyone can have any idea what coin it is but thank you for some kind of idea. Strange to find it in a field in Cornwall in the middle of nowhere.
I will load the other side and another top picture if that helps narrow it down but its so corroded.
