I recently acquired what looks like an authentic 1777 1 Real coin with a PJ mint. It is only 15 mm wide and weighs 1.3 grams. The catalog shows a 22 mm width and a 3.38 gram weight. Is this a fake?

This coin looks genuine, but it isn't a 1 Real.
It's a 1777. Carlos III. Madrid. PJ.
1/2 Real . KM#410.1

Please, may you change the images in Numista catalog for your photos? The current images are of a wrong mexican coin.
