To be more specific, it is definitely a Spanish or Spanish colonial cob coin. The weight and diameter metal provided indicate it is a 4 Reales coin. The type is called a Cross (1st picture) and Shield ( 2nd picture based on the Hapsburg shield) coin. The coin is too damaged and vague for me to be more specific as to exactly where it was minted or other relevant information. This will take someone with a real trained eye to identify exactly what you have.

The weight and diameter are right. I think its legit but just in poor condition.

My guess is it's a 17th century 4 reale coin from Spain or one of it's colonies. Here's what a good one looks like:
