Here's a similar sort of thing. And I do have one of these!
Would this be around the same price range? I would like one day to add a coin like this and hoping there are some cheaper than the 8 Reales from Mexico. What country is this from and denomination? I am guessing Mexico 2 Reales but not sure?
I don’t know what it’s worth but there would be a lot of bidders

I meant for the one dated 1280 not the 8 Reales my guess for that one would be 20k.
The one MrEureka posted is a nice MS example sold by Marti Hervera in 2012. There was another, AU example in Aureo's "Isabel de Trastamara" sale in 2015. Those hammered at €1,500 and €1,900, respectively. Another Hervera example, a lower quality XF, hammered at €750 in 2018. The Isabel de Trastamara coin resurfaced in 2019 and failed to meet the opening bid (€1,500) at Aureo and went unsold.

The 1280 Madrid 2 Reales will probably run you somewhere between $500 and 3K, depending on the quality.

Not mine, but this one hammered for 10K at Ponterio in 2010. I would expect it to bring more today.

I was going to say I bid on one, but didn’t win it. That must have been the one.
How about 18812!

No, Spain (Madrid) 2 reales.
Anyone can tell me the estimated value see if I can maybe one day own such a coin?

That seems a bit terse. When you asked about British copper here...

people answered your question. Nobody advised you to "start reading books".
Just sayin'.
