Hello,
Any insight on what this is would be very appreciated!

lettering appears Crylllic "EXANO 1736" on side B?
Disregard the blue stains.
Thank you for your help!

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=COIN+1736+8+REALES&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Riz_Uoi_Baq47Abyr4HwCg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1024&bih=630#imgdii=_
I see the 8 at the top of the reverse, and know the cross symbol is on Portugese type coins, making it an 8 Reales, so with the date made the above Google images search.
One of the results says: Fake, no coins (from Lima, Peru) were made with EXANO on them. Also another pafe says it is an imitation of a Spanish-American gold coin; and may be 8 Escudos.
Here is the genuine gold coin, and yours ...

But all that is what I found - I do not know about the coin myself.
Anyway, welcome to the site.
