Reverse description The reverse displays the partially preserved design of the Spanish colonial host coin, identifiable as a milled 8 Reales of the portrait type. The crowned royal arms of Spain, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, are visible in the central field, though heavily worn and partially obscured. Fragments of the surrounding circular legend remain legible around the periphery, and the date 1811 is discernible in the lower exergue. The overall surface exhibits significant wear and corrosion consistent with extended circulation and the countermarking process.
