Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1792, is interesting because it features countermarks from both LCM (Lima) and Morelos, indicating that it was used in both the Viceroyalty of Peru and the Viceroyalty of New Spain. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was used in two different Spanish colonies in the Americas.
