Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1813, is interesting because it features a unique combination of countermarks. The Chilpanzingo countermark, which is a small "8" stamped on the coin's reverse, was used by the Mexican government to indicate that the coin had been inspected and certified as authentic. The PDV countermark, which stands for "Peso De Valor," was used to indicate the coin's value in pesos. This combination of countermarks is rare and highly sought after by collectors, making the coin a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
