"1808. Potosí. PJ. 8 reales. Levísimas rayitas. Bella. Parte de brillo original. Escasa así. EBC. (eight reales of 1808, Potosí mint. Light marks, attractive, lustrous, extremely fine.)"

Assayer PJ is recorded for the years 1803-25. These eight reales of Ferdinand VII dated 1808 were almost certainly minted later as they bear the standard bust of the king not used until 1811 in Mexico.
