| Beschrijving voorzijde | An eagle displayed stands atop an arched stone bridge, wings spread, facing left; the denomination '8' appears to the left of the eagle and 'R' to the right in the field. A circular legend surrounds the design, with the date 1812 incorporated into the inscription. The strike is characteristic of the crude cast technique employed by the insurgent forces, resulting in a somewhat rough surface with bold but uneven relief. |

The Supreme National Congress of America — formally established at Chilpancingo in 1813, though insurgent minting operations predated it — authorized coinage partly to legitimize the independence movement as a functioning civil government rather than a mere rebellion. These emergency issues were struck at provisional mints operating under constant military pressure from royalist forces, using crude local dies and whatever silver could be extracted from mines the insurgents briefly controlled in Zitácuaro and surrounding territories.
The 1812 date places this piece among the earliest of the independence-era insurgent issues, produced under José María Morelos before the Congress was formally convened. Royalist counterstrikes and plugging are frequently encountered on survivors.
