Countermarked Mexico KM#109 8 Reales coin. Stamped 1791-1808.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 960 Réis - João Prince Regent (Countermarked 8 Reales; Minas Gerais) ND (1808) silver coin from Brazil is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The early 19th century saw Brazil struggle with high inflation, debt, and economic instability, which led to the introduction of new currency systems and reforms. Despite these challenges, the 960 Réis coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday transactions in Brazil during that time.
