Comment
this pattern was likely made in 1887 in anticipation of the Patterns of 1889.Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Reales coin from Mexico, made of silver in 1810, is considered a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, which lasted from 1810 to 1821, and its design reflects the political and social changes that were taking place in Mexico during that time. The coin features the Mexican eagle on one side and the Spanish king's name on the other, symbolizing the struggle for independence and the end of Spanish rule in Mexico.
