| Reverse description | Radiant Phrygian liberty cap centered in the field, emitting rays in all directions, symbolizing republican ideals. The denomination 1/8 appears to the right of the cap, flanked by the date, with the letter C preceding the date likely representing the mint mark for Concepcion de Alamos. The reverse layout is spare and typographically direct, characteristic of early Mexican state coinage. |
