Hello!
I would appreciate very much if someone could identify for me this coin. I know that it is a 4 Reales, probably from some spanish colony. I tried a lot to find its specific reference in internet but it was impossible. My intention is to sell it, so if you know also what is its indicative value, please inform me.

Thank you in advance!

I don't think this is a coin at all but a button designed to look like one. You can see where the loop has been filed off on the back. I suspect the WLR is the makers name.

Looks like a military or high level dignitary button. I've come across items similar to this
Rest in Peace

Definitely a brass button. Coinage of reales was in silver, I believe. Excellent photos, however.
