4 Reales Counterfeit

正面描述	National arms at center, depicting the Mexican eagle displayed upon a cactus rising from a lake, with a serpent in its beak, all within a beaded border. The legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA arcs along the upper periphery. A wreath composed of olive and oak branches frames the lower portion of the arms, tied with a ribbon at the base.

附加信息	Mexican 4 reales pieces were already an anachronism by 1876 — the denomination had been officially discontinued in favor of the decimal peso system introduced in 1863. A contemporary counterfeit of a defunct coin suggests either a forger working from old stock with no knowledge of current currency law, or a deliberate exploitation of rural populations still accepting pre-decimal coinage by habit. The silver-plated brass construction is consistent with workshop forgeries of the period rather than crude cast copies.
