Description: | Silver half real of Carlos III (1759-1788) of Spain, dated to 1785 on the obverse. The crowned arms of Spain are flanked by two pillars, which was used on coins minted in the Americas. The 'F' and 'M' in the reverse legend are the initials of the assayer at the Mexico City mint. The Mexico City mintmark is an 'M' with a small 'o' over it. The coin has been perforated in the legend with a hole that is 2.6 mm in diameter, for suspension as a pendant or a charm.
