to the forum!
This isn't my specialty, but the coin strikes me to be a replica due to details.
I'll let others who know better give their input.

I agree. I would judge this coin, from this photo, to be a replica strike of a cob coin. It's far too shiny, the strike is too neat, and the castles and lions look odd to me.

Is your coin the approximate size of a quarter, or larger?

This is a 1 real coin that I own, from the Mexico City mint as a Spanish Colonial mint. Note the rounded balls on the ends of the cross- that's a good sign this coin was minted in Mexico City. In size,, it is in between an US nickel and a quarter.

Thanx all I didnt think it could be real... although, a jewler did tell me that it is silver and about 20 grams. Its about the size of a half dollar. This is the back side
