| Reverse description | Central field bears the denomination inscription 'REAL' in raised block letters within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base, with the fractional value '8' appearing below, denoting one-eighth of a real. The wreath frames the legend in a typical provincial style, with the date appearing in the exergue or lower field. The surrounding circular legend identifies the issuing locality and denomination. The crude workmanship is consistent with emergency provincial coinage struck under Royalist authority in Durango. |
