The 8 Reales was Mexico’s most important trade coin of the 19th century, circulating from the Americas to Asia. Merchant-applied chopmarks—common in Chinese and Southeast Asian trade—were stamped to confirm silver purity. This 1885 Mexico City issue reflects the mint’s central role in fueling Mexico’s export-driven silver economy.
