Took me a few days to correctly identify this 8 reale. Couple days ago I traveled a few counties away in hunt of a folk lore. After a nice amount of old buttons this beauty showed itself. My new oldest coin. GL and HH!

Congrats on the find. Seeing it's not a complete coin, I would make a key chain or something with it. It's still really cool.
 
Nice find.
I've always wanted a cut piece, but at the same time happy all mine have been round. And I did get a full "8" last year.
 
IMO, the coolest thing of all is you got the best quarter of it, the one with the date!!

Congrats!
