Owner Comments:
The 1861 Real is a distinct type compared to the 1859 and 1860 Reals (though not recognized as such in Krause). There are fewer palm leaves on the reverse, two of which are bent downwards, and there are more berries in the laurel branch.
1861 Reals are rare in any grade. I have seen only two in higher grades. One was part of large lot that sold at auction around 2014/15. It appeared to be fully mint state in the photo. The other is photographed on the CoinWiki page; a nice AU/UNC. None have been graded at PCGS/NGC.
