Quote HistoryQuoted: What is it made of? I don’t believe gold will corrode in sea water Pretty sure it's copper. If it were bronze, it would be heavily pitted. I have a few that are similar. They are not uncommon. |

Neat!
Ancient, or at least very old coins were in use well into the 19th century. Silver or gold was still silver or gold. Paper money wasnt a thing until almost the 20th century. I have a friend that found a Spanish real here, nowhere near the ocean. |

Soak it some vinegar and give it a good scrubbing. Lemon juice works well too. Brasso if none of the above works.

Appears to be a 1710 8 escudos Spanish coin. Some are worth a TON but the perfection of the strike (centering, evenness, etc...) and overall condition are a big part of old coin values. https://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Peru_1710-L_H_8_escudos
also read why bro said you found it on the beach, not in the water: https://www.focusnewspaper.com/spanish-coins-dating-to-1712-found-on-florida-beach/ |

I was surprised to find a bunch of Roman coins at my local coin shop for only $20. I always thought something that old would be worth more. Guy said there are millions upon million of them out there and the only ones with real worth are ones from a documented cache like from a Pharaoh or wreck or similar.

Neat coin.
If you want more, you can get them on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Pirate-Coins-Doubloons-Realistic/dp/B08JM86N47 My guess is someone threw a bunch of them on the beach for their kids to "find". They missed this one. |
