I like the look of it. Close to EF I would think as I see little wear. If these are like the 8 Reales, they would not have been struck particularly well.

Not being as experienced as others out here, my eye was first drawn to the dark patination.

But if I look at this very high grade example as a reference point https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...9c0ed5f39844

I honestly do not see much much less detail in your coin (feathers, cactus, leaves, etc).

I'll let someone else hang a number on it.

Lots of design weakness but Cap, Rays and edge details say EF-45 to me. Very nice example.

EF-45 sounds right.

EF-45 might be on the conservative side for this coin.
