ANSWER: Hi Jonny, what are the letters and number on each side of the shield? This indicates the denomination, as well as the size and metal would, which is necessary in order to give a possible value. This Spanish coin features King Philip V (1700-46).

QUESTION: On the side of the coat and arms there is a R S on the left side of the coin and I P A on the right, I cannot see any number on the coin, where would i find any numbers?

Answer
Hi Jonny, what size is the coin?
The R and I may be an R and a 1 meaning a 1 Real denomination. The S should be the mintmark and the PA the mintmaster's initials but they don't match up for that date.
