Don't see where I have posted this before.

18.2 mm from side to side; 3.2 mm thick at widest, 6.45 grams. Found this on my floor, not sure where or when I got it. No seam on the edges. What is it?

Looks like Spanish Colonial cob coinage.
Maybe Portugal, Honduras or other.

It looks like it might have been in or very near a fire, but all the info is still there. Ferdinand VI, two reales of Potosi, marked by assayer initial "E" and clearly dated 1750. This is a common date and assayer. It would be worth two bits in colonial America. One each of denomination, date, mint mark and 1.5 assayer's marks are visible (full "E" on the cross side, partial on the Pillar and wave side). Probably genuine.
