One of the earliest 8 reales pieces struck following the monetary reform of 1771, which brought a complete redesign of coin types in both Spain and Spanish America. This reform introduced the monarch’s portrait on silver and copper coins and also established distinct designs for the so-called provincial silver—coins minted in Spain using lower fineness silver— differentiating them from the so-called national silver or plata gruesa, struck in the Americas for overseas trade.
