Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique crenellated center hole, which was a common feature of Mexican 8 reales coins during that time period. The crenellations were added to the coin to help prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier to distinguish from other coins. This feature, combined with the coin's silver content and historical significance, make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
