I posted this thread some time ago, yet I'm not convinced if it truly is a large 8, your thoughts and expertise appreciated.

Looks like a small 8.

An easy way to tell is to look at the top of the crown on the reverse.
If it is a cross, it is a small 8.
If it looks like a bow tie, it is a large 8.

From what I can see in your picture, it looks like a cross.
