Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Reales (ENSAIE - Insurgent countermarked coinage) ND (1810-1822) from Mexico made of Silver is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. The coin was countermarked by the insurgent government, which indicates that it was produced outside of the official Spanish colonial mint and was used to finance the rebellion. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Mexican history, and its unique origin makes it a fascinating collector's item.
