Host coin 1811 KM#191Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Reales coin from Mexico, featuring Vicente Guerrero and countermarked with the insurgent mark, is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Mexico. The coin was issued between 1816 and 1821, a period known as the Mexican War of Independence, when Mexico was fighting for independence from Spanish rule. The countermark on the coin signifies that it was issued by the insurgent government, led by Guerrero, who was a prominent leader in the independence movement. This coin is a tangible piece of history that represents the struggles and triumphs of Mexico's fight for freedom.
