| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned Royal Arms of Spain at center, flanked on either side by the Pillars of Hercules with scrolling banners bearing the motto PLUS VLTRA. The legend surrounding the shield reads HISPAN ET IND REX, identifying the monarch as King of Spain and the Indies. The assayer initials F·M and mint mark Mo for Mexico City appear in the field, along with the denomination designation 8R. The overall design is characteristic of the Mexican mint's late 18th-century milled coinage. |
