Looks like a medal. -Preussen

I can't find that particular one...
Looks like it refers to early 18th century (1710-1760) Spanish colonial.
Rex Hispaniarum= King of the Spains (if that helps)

The coat of arms side is similar to a Spanish 1 real from the 1700's, but the ship is not on any coin I'm familiar with. It might have been some kind of "hobo token" type of recarved coin, but the thickness is too high for a 1 real.

I'd presume it's a "pirate treasure" tourist souvenir piece.
