| Reverse description | The national arms of the First Mexican Empire, popularly known as the 'Crowned duck' or 'Crowned chick' type, displayed at center: a crowned eagle perched atop a cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, with quivers of arrows and pre-Hispanic macuahuitl (obsidian-edged swords) arranged below. The design is surrounded by a circular legend, and the denomination numeral 8 and assayer initials JM appear within the legend. The overall composition reflects the transitional heraldic style of early independent Mexico, combining indigenous and imperial European iconographic elements. |
