My dad has given me a load of American coins and this one was with them. All he knows is that he kept it because he thought it was old but knows nothing more about it.

It could be Pewter. I am no expert on coins by far how do I tell if it's pewter ?

Edit* Had a look on the web and from what i read i would say Yes it's Pewter as it's a soft metal easily scratched with the finger nail and when cleaned has a very dull shine.

Nobby, you set off a train of thought.  Mexican  -  Spanish. Off I went to look for some. Have a look at coins-auctioned.com  Ancient Spanish, currently page 3.   There are one or two quite similar, all from Peru.

Just a thought. Is Joel in America at mo.??

It certainly looks as if Nobby and Val are on the money with their id's. Definitely looks the same family.
The obverse of the coin features a cross with the symbols for Castile and Leon
