    I'm not an expert on Spanish coins, but it appears that this coin used the number of points on the star to signify the mint.

    Am I reading the info on this link ( http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Spain_1858_real_7_point_star ) correctly when I interpret 8 points as a mint mark for Barcelona?

    Here are some pics (in case I'm misidentifying the coin entirely):

    I would say that is correct.
