Came upon this intriging coin. Its non-magnetic and doesnt feel particularly heavy for its size. In fact it weighs just over 12gs. Real or replica? Possibly Spanish 17th century?

Welcome to CW. Your pictures are super blurry. But it appears you have an 8 escudo coin from Peru. A real coin would be made of hold and weigh around 27 grams. A fake brass one would weigh around 10 grams.

**Should say...made of gold** we cannot edit our own comments here..annoying
Replica you can see the base metal under the plating
