Comment
Type IVInteresting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1822 during the reign of Agustín I, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "tree trunk" design on the reverse side, which was a common motif in Mexican coinage during that period. This design was used to symbolize the connection between the new independent nation and the natural resources of the land. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
