1762 8 Reales are one of a series struck 1760-71 during the reign of Charles III (1759-88). Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy depicts the shield side as the obverse as that side bears the king's name. However, auction catalogs and dealer listings more frequently use the pillars and globes side as the obverse, as that side bears the date. Recorded mintage: unknown.Specification: 27.07 grams, .917 fine silver, .798 troy oz ASW.Catalog reference: Gilboy M-8-40, KM 105.NGC Certified at AU details, Chopmarked.
