| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of Castile and León within a shield, featuring the castles of Castile and the rampant lions of León in alternating quarters, rendered in a crude emergency-issue style characteristic of provisional Royalist coinage. The denomination numeral '8' appears below the shield. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading R CAXA DE SOMBRERETE, identifying the Royal Treasury of Sombrerete as the issuing authority. The overall engraving is rough and irregular, consistent with the emergency conditions under which these coins were produced during the Mexican War of Independence. |
