Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Mexico, as it was part of the Spanish Empire. The coin was issued in 1808, just a year before Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1810. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Mexico and Spain during that time.
