It's probably Spanish colonial. What are the letters between Deo and In?

one doesn't look like a letter.. but it could be a lower case r and there's an S with a circle underneath it

The S with an o above it is the Santiago, Chile mint mark. That should be next to IN while 'DA' should be next to DEO. Sound like it?
