I have a silver, thin, not very round coin. Which I am unable to find the history behind. I have no idea if it real or not so if you can help me out would be great.

On one side around the border it is cut off at the top and then it says "INDIARVM/+HISPANIARVM
In the middle of that side is a cross which has a small crown (maybe a castle) in the top left and bottom right corner of the cross. In the top right and bottom left is a small lion.

On the other side it is cut off again on the top. Around the border it says St thomas/ (what looks like) "U.S.V.I" upside down/St John.
In the middle there is a shield with the same cross/lion in the same spots. To the left of the shield in the middle is a small "B" and on the other side to the right of the shield is a small "M". Above the shield in small writing is what looks like "sow king"

Thank you for any help at all.

Also I have a picture of it but wasn't able to put it up so if you send me your email I can send it to you.

to the forums, astoryforsupper!

To post the pictures, you can go to imageshack. After you upload it, look for a https://www.imageshack.us/numbersnumbers.jpg link. Then in the forums, post the link between [Kimg]Here[/Kimg], but remove the "K"

Hope we can see the pics soon!
