@tiny, based on some of the other coins in this lot, I think that you have a bit from an 8 reales coin. Yours is very similar to the one posted in this previous CCF thread:

As Spence mentioned, this looks like the 3:00 piece of an 8 reales likely from the 1750-1770 time period.
Here is an example of such a coin

This is a 1/8 cut of a Spanish Colonial pillar 8 Reales...

**HOWEVER, from the dark/corroded appearance, this "may" be one the Hollandia wreck pieces that was cut after salvage as a promotional gimmick. See here:
