Gold doubloons

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone could tell me what to look for in a Spanish doubloon. I just found one on e-Bay but it's only supposed to be 7/6 of an inch across. Does anyone know what a bigger one would be called, what it would be called and how much it would probably cost?

Something like this auction:
8 Escudos
or this one for 4 escudos:

A "doubloon" however, is a 2 escudos coin - from the root double.
two kopeki is correct, you are most likely looking at a 1 escudo, and the seller is using the term incorrectly, which is pretty common.
Watch for removed mounts and polishing. Those are problems that you'll find quite a bit with these coins, and it will drop the value.

I've always wanted to own 2 or 3 of those to display in my aquarium (sticking out of the blank sand).
That's a great idea!
