The Mexican 8 Reales, often known worldwide as the “Spanish dollar,” served as a global trade coin long into the 19th century. This 1896 issue, minted at the foremost Mexico City Mint, showcases the enduring legacy of the Cap & Rays design. The chopmarks—likely added by Asian merchants—are evidence of the coin’s broad international circulation, particularly in East Asia, where such validation marks assured authenticity.
