I'm having some difficulty reading the incscriptions, but with that royal crest and pieces of ARAGON in the legend, I'm betting that you have a Real from Spain. Better pics might help (better light, focus, and cropping). Sorry that I can't give you anything more definitive.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/08/2017 5:13 pm 1 Tari (1/6 Piastra Napolitana or 20 grana) of Philip II, Spain (Italian States/Sicily-Naples). 1568-1587. Mint and Moneyer GR / VP Obv: PHILIPP(VS) REX ARAGO(N) VTRIV(M). Crowned and mailed bust facing left; mint mark "GR" above "VP" ligature in left field. Rev: SICIL ET HIERUSAL. Arms of Aragon, Leon, etc. in an oval frame with baroque ornamentation, a crown atop. Taken together, the legend translates approximately to Philip, King of both Aragon and Sicily, and (of) Jerusalem. "King of Jerusalem" was (and still is by way of Felipe VI) a Neapolitan fantasy title carried forth by way of Ferdinand I of Naples et al. and ultimately from the passed-over pretender Hugues, comte de Brienne in the 1300s (who had himself allegedly tried to sell the title to Charles I of Naples after the Haute Cour chose Hugues de Lusignan as King of Jerusalem.)
