Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a series of countermarked coins issued by the Insurgent government during the Mexican War of Independence. The countermark, which features the letters "CH" for Chilpancingo, was applied to coins that were originally issued by the Spanish colonial government, and it signifies the coin's acceptance by the Insurgent government as legitimate currency. This coin, in particular, was issued during the period of 1809-1822 and was made of silver, weighing 3.38 grams.
