I have an Silver 1760 VTRAQUE VNUM Carolvs III 2 1/2" inch coin/bullion and I can't find anything like it. I can find the 1 1/2" inch version of it , but not the larger one. Also, it weighs 112.4 grams.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this larger coin.
Thanks,

    Your coin is not genuine. Look it up on the Internet.

    Appearance to be a copy of an 8 Reales.

    I'm no expert on that series but your "coin" screams "fake" to me.

    What do you see on it that screams "FAKE?"

    A general softness in the overall appearance.

    I am drawn to the pitted surfaces of the exergue on both sides. IMO. Peace Roy

    Pitting, softness of details, details that "melt" into the roughness of the surrounding fields.
