The Culiacan mint began issuing eight reales in 1846. The mintmark, shown here as "Cn," was a plain "C" until the 1870's. Many early dates from this mint are rare but this issue is common in all grades. Culiacan and Zacatecas closed in 1905, the last of the branch mints. The first specimen was lot 4161 in Goldberg sale 85 (Los Angeles, June 2015), where it sold for $176. The catalog description[1] noted, "Mexico. 8 Reales, 1892-Cn AM. NGC graded MS-62."

Recorded mintage: 681,000.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.903 fine silver, .786 troy oz ASW.
