Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Reales coin from the State of Chihuahua is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Mexico. The Royalist coinage was issued by the Spanish Crown loyalists in opposition to the Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810 and lasted until 1821. The coin's design features the image of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled Spain during this time, and its silver content was worth 8 reales, a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. Despite the political tensions, the coin remained in circulation until 1813, providing a glimpse into the complex history of Mexico's struggle for independence.
