| Reverse description | The interlaced cipher of José María Morelos occupies the upper central field, formed by the stylized monogram 'M' with a 'V' superimposed, flanked by small decorative rosette or star ornaments. Below the monogram, the denomination numeral '8' appears to the left and the abbreviation 'R' to the right, separated by a central dot, with the date 1812 inscribed in large numerals across the lower field. The overall execution is characteristic of the crude but purposeful engraving style of the Oaxacan insurgent mint, with a beaded or reeded border. |
