Different mint varieties are considered different coins due to the way they were made, they were often made on top of other coins, and also were copies rather than shared dies, made by Loyalists.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver (.903) weighing 6.77 g is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand VII, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the colonies in the Americas. This coin was minted in Mexico City and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Spanish colonies in North and South America. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the image of Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the Spanish monarchy and its colonies in the Americas.
