| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Spanish colonial 8 Reales, displaying the Hispanic royal arms in the characteristic pillars-of-Hercules design. Two crowned Pillars of Hercules flank a crowned shield quartered with the castles of Castile and lions of León, with a pomegranate in base and three fleurs-de-lis on an escutcheon in the center. The central round hole partially disrupts the design. The reverse legend, partially legible, reads HISPAN ET IND REX with the mint mark Mo, denomination 8R, and assayer initials TH identifying the Mexico City Mint output. |
