Shown is an 1778MoFF 8 reales of Charles III, one of a type struck in Mexico 1773-84. Assayer FM is recorded for the years 1770-78. Assayer FF is known for 1777-84, as well as an overdate 1778/7. The dollar that George Washington allegedly threw over the Potomac could have been of this type. Harris[1] notes that the Mexico City 8 reales is by far the most abundant coin of Charles III. The next most common issue, the two reales from Mexico City, is less than half as common.
