Can anyone identify this coin for me? I can see the 1783 date but that's about it.

Carlos III, 1/2(?) real, México, 1788 "ensayadores" FM: Francisco Arance y Cobos - Mariano Rodríguez Puerta (1784-1807).
The weight would be helpful.....:?:
 
My pictures are turned 45° when I post them on here. Strange. Anyways, here's the weight. It's less than it should be. This coin is worn thin. The scale is in grams.
 
You stinker, how in the world did that get under your coil? Flipping SAF , get back there!

I was shocked when I found this. It was on the edge of some woods running between an old ball field and a parking lot. In all of my research of my area it seems this place has always been nothing but woods.
I've been back there detecting the heck out of this area and haven't found anything else.
 
Dial your skills in and go back. Ball field have always been great, but if you're finding old silvers, dude if your weather is cooperative I would be killing it there. Good luck and keep swinging.
