Is it a Half Real dated 1780? 1780General Lafayette arrives in Boston, carrying the news that he has secured French men and ships to reinforce the Americans in the Revolutionary War. Maria Theresa of Austria dies, and her Habsburg dominions pass to her son, Joseph II. Unfortunately, my coin was not minted that year, sorry. |

I'll take my shot and hopefully not win, but narrow it down for James.
Is the coin a 1775 Half-Real?

Oops! Delete! Is it a 1777 half-real? 1777!What a year it was! Vermont declares its independence from New York, becoming the Vermont Republic, an independent country, a status it retains until it joins the United States as the 14th state in 1791. Lachlan McIntosh and Button Gwinnett shoot each other during a duel near Savannah, Georgia. Gwinnett, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, dies three days later. Third voyage of James Cook: English explorer Captain Cook locates Kiritimati (Christmas Island). Unfortunately, my coin was not minted that year, sorry. |

Okay. we have 18/20 questions gone. We have 4 guessers who have taken their best shot and missed the mark.
We have a half reale dated either 1778, 1779 or 1781.
Is it possible someone will ask the 2 remaining yes/no questions and determine the answer?
Do we all know the difference between a yes/no question and a guess?
By the way, this coin does have a MINTMARK!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
