AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This 8 Reales coin from 1749 was minted during the reign of Fernando VI of Spain at the Casa de la Moneda in Mexico City (marked with the 'Mo'). As one of the most circulated silver coins of the Spanish Empire, the 8 Reales played a crucial role in global trade, especially in America and Asia. Its high silver purity (0.917) and considerable weight (27.07 g) made it a reliable medium of exchange, often called the 'Spanish dollar' or 'piece of eight', which later influenced coin minting in the United States and other countries.

Certified by NGC as XF Details.
