1/2 Reale and a Couple of Relics

Found a taco folded Reale and a few relics in the weeds on the edge of a Colonial farm field this morning. I thought the Reale was a silver plated button at first but I realized what it was when I unfolded it. I can't make out a date on the Reale but I believe it's a Carlos IV (1788-1808) Mexico. I can see a 1**4 so possibly 1804 - not really sure to be honest. I also got a early 1800's button, skeleton key and a broken watch winder key (I think).

These fields have been plowed and fertilized for 300 years and everything seems to come out broken, bent and corroded... I"ll take what I can get.

Thanks for looking and HH y'all.
