What is written after that is actually 10 Ds. 20 Gs. which means &#039;10 dineros 20 granos&#039; and refers to the silver fineness (0.903). The weight of the coin should be about 27.22g.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>8 Reales (plural) is the correct way to spell the currency unit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Acetone can be used to remove the PVC.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yours was minted in Durango. The D should have an &#039;o&#039; after it but appears only partially on this example.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This coin is &#039;slightly scarce&#039; so does have a small premium.
