Comment
Type IInteresting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1822 during the reign of Agustín I, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.903), it was designed with a unique "tree-like" shape, which was meant to symbolize the connection between the new Mexican government and the people. This distinctive design was a departure from the traditional circular shape of coins and was intended to represent the country's commitment to independence and self-governance.
