    Definitely not a fake. And if it's the size of a dime, it's probably a half reale--- even though the 1 reale was
    the forerunner of our current dime. A 1 reale of the same type would be a tad bigger than a US penny.

    oops-- when i was typing my reply, i somehow had it in my head that you were asking if it was fake or not also. Turns out you weren't.

    buster -

    That is a 1/2 reale. With the smaller denominations it is the legends that tell you what the coin is. A 1 reale will have 1 R.
    knowledge ........ share it

    Looks genuine. It is a half real as mentioned earlier. Mexico City mint.
