maybe

... Weight: 6.7 grams
Diameter: .90 inches

1 troy oz is 31.1 grams so right now gold is like about 21.86 a gram, so this might be 146 or so melt. I am seeing some on ebay for 250 buy it now and others listed on net for $500. I get the feeling this is not a rare coin though- the two escudo coin was the famous "doubloon"

Quote:

Spanish gold coinage was sought throughout the world. The basic gold coin was the eight escudo piece, often called a doubloon. In 1537 eight escudos was set at 27.4680 grams of .92 fine gold (22-carat gold). In 1728 the weight was reduced to 27.06429 grams, and then in 1772 the fineness was reduced to .90103. Thus
