if the hole wasn't square I wouldn't have yet another over-paid-for addition to my "junque" drawer

The squareness of the hole is a plus. It gives it that aura of historical mystery, since it's pretty obvious an old square nail was involved there. The coin has great color and detail. So what if the hole placement isn't ideal? Nice pickup.
Oh- that reminds me, I still have the Spanish colonial stuff from my Holey Coin Vest to sell. Don't recall any square holed ones, though. There is a really nice 8R, and like yours, it isn't a Mexico City one. I forget offhand which mint it was from but I'm pretty sure it's dated 1800.
I just sold a square-hole 1731 Brit halfpenny and a few others with square holes.
Dunno what's going on under the date of your coin, there, but it looks interesting.
Well, just Love coins, period.

Remind me to doctor all my holed coins into square-holed coins seems it would be easily done
BTW, nice newp!

A different era but I grew up near one stretch of the emigrant trail in California and we used to find square nails on our property, along with other remnants such as glass bottles.
