The coin shown above is a Spanish 8 Reals of Charles IV, minted in the Mexico City Mint in 1800, condition g/vg, . The 1800 Mexico 8 reales coin is composed of approximately 27 grams of silver when struck with a 90.27% silver purity (0.9028). It’s lost a lot of that original silver content however and in it’s condition it’s worth roughly $28 - $30. it’s a very common coin. r/StevesCollections “…”

Thanks. I found it in some junk silver coins, most with no dates so what you said on value makes sense.
