Owner Comments:
The 1790 8 reales have the portrait of Charles III and those minted in Mexico City have two variations in the legend, CAROLUS IV, as in this example, or CAROLUS IIII as the legend would be standardized throughout the reign of Charles IV. This coin was one of the first coins I purchased for my collection in January of 2010. It was an Ebay purchase from Stuart Rubenfeld (aka coinstuart) that graded as advertised.
