Found this coin a few weeks back on my land which is in Aragon...Medieval coinage is not my strong point so was hoping some of the experts could pin this one down?
28mm diameter..3.3grams
I think it might be Enrique IV (1454/74) 1/2 Real ?
Not really sure though so any help would be much appreciated.

Enrique IV yes, but more likely a full real by the weight. This one I think: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces194351.html

Enrique IV yes,

That's great ...Thank you so much!
Looks to be quite uncommon.
When the detector 'pinged' I knew it could be silver but probably an aluminium ring pull which are really difficult to differentiate between, at least on my old machine!
A very pleasant surprise to see this one pop out!

What an amazing find, Paul. Congrats.

To have spent so much time in the ground and to have virtually all of the detail still visible is awesome.

Geeeez, Paul...*shaking head* That is one beautiful find! I live in the US, so I'm far more likely to find a rusted nail, a pull-tab, or a crusty Hot Wheels car. A medieval coin? Ummmm...not as such.

Congrats...and welcome back!
