Interesting fact
The Pattern 8 Reales coin from Mexico, made of Silver (.903) and weighing 27.07g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1882 as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This fact makes it particularly interesting and valuable to collectors.
