| Obverse description | The obverse displays the crowned Royal Arms of Spain, featuring the quartered shield of Castile and León surmounted by an elaborate imperial crown. Flanking the shield are the mint mark 'MM' (Mexico City) to the left and the denomination numeral '8' to the right. The circular legend reads FERDND VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX. A Jamaican countermark comprising the crowned royal cypher 'GR' (Georgius Rex) has been applied to the centre of the shield, partially obscuring the original arms. The coin exhibits attractive iridescent toning across the silver surface. |
