| Reverse description | A hand emerging from clouds at right grasps an upright pole surmounted by a Phrygian cap, the classical symbol of liberty, positioned centrally in the field. An open book inscribed with the law lies to the lower left. The upper legend bears the republican motto, while the lower arc carries the denomination, mintmark, date, assayer's initials, and fineness designation, all arranged close to the milled border. The composition reflects the republican iconography adopted by early Mexican independent coinage, with the reverse design serving as an alternative emblematic type proposed for the 8 Escudos denomination. |
