Comment
NOTE: This Pattern (was) presumably produced at the Royal mint, London, since dies are still to be found in the Mint Museum.Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Reales coin from Mexico, made of silver in 1829, features an intricate design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Agustín de Iturbide, who ruled Mexico from 1821 to 1823. Iturbide was instrumental in Mexico's independence from Spain and was crowned emperor in 1822. The coin's design reflects the blending of Mexican and European influences, symbolizing the country's transition from a colony to an independent nation.
