jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 765 Posts	Posted 10/12/2026 6:16 pm Another 8 reales that looked to pretty to pass. This is the last year for the 8 reales. I do not know if it is one of the official coins or an imitation for trade with China. Perhaps someone here can say. Weight is 27.01 g. I think it circulated but not for very long. The fields show traces of it having been lightly cleaned in the past. The edge is well done but I only see one area of overlap. Expected to see two at 180º. But that was in colonial coins. Do not know how it was in these ones. Should I annotate it as 'cleaned' or not? Edited by jecz79 10/12/2026 6:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
