8 Reales - Ferdinand VII Royalist Coinage

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, which lasted from 1810 to 1821. The coin was issued by the Spanish colonial authorities in an attempt to maintain control over the territory, but it ultimately became a symbol of the struggle for independence. The coin features an image of Ferdinand VII, the King of Spain, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Municipality of Real de Catorce on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
