Question
i cant find much about this coin only where its from.can you please tell me something about this coin and how much its worth?

Answer
Hi Jeff, it appears to be a 46 millimeters sized 1 Tallero featuring Saint Blaze.
Collector value may be worth about $50 with heavy wear to around $325 with moderate wear to maybe $550 with light wear. Fakes exist.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
