Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued between 1810 and 1811, features a unique countermark, known as the "ENSAIE" and "Morelos" countermark, which was applied by the Mexican government to coins that were minted during the Spanish colonial period. This countermark was used to validate the coin's authenticity and value, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
