Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1822 during the reign of Agustín I, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "killmark" or "countermark" on the reverse side, which is a small stamped letter "M" or "N" that can be found above the eagle's head. This mark was added to the coin to indicate that it was minted in Mexico City, as opposed to other mints in the country. The presence of this killmark can help identify the coin's origin and authenticity.
