| Reverse description | The reverse retains the design of the Spanish colonial host coin, a Mexico City Mint 8 Reales of the portrait type (busto coinage), struck under the assayer initials TH. The central field bears the crowned Royal Arms of Castile and León, quartered with castles and lions, flanked by the crowned Pillars of Hercules with scrolling banners. The surrounding legend reads HISPAN ET IND REX, partially obscured by wear and the application of the countermarks. The denomination numeral 8 and the mintmark Mo are visible to the left of the pillars. |
