Message:: [QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 7508780, member: 102103"]This one's not from the Italian States, for once.Mexico, State of Durango, <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57793.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57793.html" rel="nofollow">1/8 Real, 1851-54</a> (date not clear)There's a similar type from <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57793.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57793.html" rel="nofollow">1845-47</a>, but that says "DEPARTMENTO DE DURANGO" instead of "ESTADO DE DURANGO" around the reverse.  I'm pretty sure the last two letters are "DO" (around 11:00 position).  Center says "8° *DE REAL*". Obverse is not readable.  I had trouble getting the camera to even focus on the surface.[ATTACH=full]1297461[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1297463[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
