1/8 Real 'Octavo'

正面描述	Central liberty cap depicted in profile, surrounded by a bold array of radiating rays emanating outward across the field, evoking the Phrygian cap motif common to Mexican republican coinage. The legend curves along the lower portion of the coin reading OCTo DE R.DE Do followed by the date 1828, all in Latin script. The design is relatively simple and rustic in execution, characteristic of provincial copper coinage of the early Mexican republic. Note: diameter varies between 18 and 19 mm.

附加信息	Durango's copper fractional coinage of the 1820s emerged from a chronic shortage of small-denomination specie that plagued northern Mexico almost immediately after independence. The federal government lacked the infrastructure to supply copper coinage uniformly across distant states, so Durango — like several other states — took matters into its own hands. These octavos circulated primarily among the laboring poor, who had little use for silver but needed fractional change for daily transactions. KM#321 is one of several distinct Durango copper types from this decade, produced under inconsistently maintained equipment at a mint that was itself a relatively recent colonial inheritance.
