MEXICO: Fernando VII, 1808-1821, AR 8 reales, 1811, KM-177, El-MX74, Sombrerete Provincial issue, periphery a bit weak, a few small digs (as usual), small flan crack at 3:30, Fine, R. This is one of many coins issued by various rebel and royalist generals during the Revolution. Officers knew their control over troops under their command extended only as far as their ability to pay them. Looted bullion would be transformed into spendable coin as fast as and by any means possible, in this case at the Nuevo Reino de Leon Mint. Sombrerete issues are known for half, one, two, four and eight reales, but none are common.
