Comment
NOTE: countermarked by the Royal Treasury of Veracruz on KM#123 (Chihuahua)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a series of coins issued by the Spanish colonial government in Mexico during the early 19th century, and it features a unique countermarking from the State of Veracruz, which was a common practice at the time to indicate the coin's authenticity and value.
