Some time ago while discussing an 1804 dated contemporary 1 real http://goccf.com/t/276447&) realeswatcher briefly noted having seen similar examples dated 1782 and bearing the Mo mint mark. Today I acquired what I believe to be one of these. Although the mint mark is not visible, the date is. The coin is "white metal" rather than silver, feels underweight (though I have not had the chance to weigh it yet) and has a plain edge.
I'd appreciate any insight from realeswatcher and others :)
Thanks!

That's the type.

I know I've seen others, but only have this pic saved - from an ebay listing:

Thank you for the confirmation. Do you have any CC portrait 1/2 reales in your image archive? I need to locate one in order to finish the type set.
