Made during the Mexican War of Independence in 1821 this Silver 8 Reales Coin featuring Ferdinand VII is a valuable piece of history that captures a pivotal moment in Latin American history. This coin, minted in Mexico City with Joint Assayers Jose Rafael de la Penna and Jose Garcia in 1821 with a fineness of .903, bears the image of Ferdinand VII and represents the Mexican War of Independence.
Looks to be an overstrike on a Carolus IIII Coin. Remains of the previous head can be seen on the obverse.
