It looks authentic but he was always one to tell tall tales. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The wrap to be 14 karat gold as well. Sorry if photos are poor, had issues with the image uploaded. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

I am not one of them, but since nobody else has chimed in, I would guess Philip II. A weight would be helpful for the denomination, but probably not possible in your case, so at least a diameter might help. Here is an 8 Reales of Philip II with similar design elements and legends for comparison. https://www.coinarchives.com/e8bb1a...age34654.jpg Edited by tdziemia 08/14/2018 09:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
