| Reverse description | Convex, essentially blank central field enclosed by an inner beaded circle, reflecting the emergency hammered production technique. The peripheral legend, struck in bold raised capital letters between the beaded border and the milled outer rim, reads +MONEDA PROVISIONAL•VALE•8R•, declaring the piece a provisional coin valued at 8 Reales. The lettering exhibits the same crude, irregular character as the obverse, consistent with the hasty improvised coinage struck by the Royalist municipality of Real de Catorce during the turbulent years of the Mexican War of Independence. |
