Some sort of real. Carolus IIII (?), reverse is the arms of spain. Maybe a late 1700s/very early 1800s Spanish 1 Real?

Spanish silver

It's a half reale. About the size of a dime. Minted in Mexico City. Probably late 1780's or 90's. Not rare, but always a pleasure to dig up!!! The date is right below the portrait. Maybe you can make out the last two digits.
 
Thanks all for the quick ID, it is a half reale. I have had it for about 20 years and never knew what it was. Only wish I found it mding :D
