Mexico 1805 8 reales rev DSLR.jpg

Shown is an 1805MoTH eight reales, one of a type struck 1791-1808. Assayer TH is recorded for the years 1803-10. The eight reales of Charles IV is the commonest Mexican colonial coin, rivaled only by the following eight reales of Ferdinand VII (1808-21). Mintages are not known but must have been in the millions to account for the number of survivors. This type is available in all grades although nice Uncirculated pieces can be expensive. The catalog mentions a rare overdate, 1805/4; the normal date shown here is common.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.896 fine silver, .780 troy oz ASW.
