  Is that a "light" Spanish 2 reales? I don't have an 18th century Krause and can't remember which years they were struck.

  I've heard it referred to as a Monogram Reale. Very HTF. Probably from the period of 1703-1713/15. There is another type called a Pistareen which is more common.

  I have a 1711 which is nearly identical to that one!
  
  Mine's holed, though- one for the Holey Coin Vest.
