| Reverse description | The reverse presents a roughly engraved monogram of 'M' for Morelos, the insurgent leader José María Morelos, prominently centered in the field above the denomination numeral '8' and the date '1814' arranged in two lines beneath. The design is characteristic of the crudely produced insurgent coinage struck under battlefield conditions, with an irregular flan, uneven strike, and a toothed border visible along the coin's edge. The lettering and numerals are deeply cut but unevenly executed, reflecting the primitive tools and urgent circumstances of their production. |
