Mexican 8 Reales with an unusual chopmark (Endless / Bowen knot?) - Opinions needed!

Greetings from Spain,

I'm a new member here, so apologies in advance for any errors!

I'd love to get your thoughts on this Mexican 8 Reales. It has several chopmarks, but one of them caught my attention because it seems rather uncommon. From what I've found, it looks like an "endless knot" (or mystic/Bowen knot). If anyone has further details or history about this particular mark, I'd be very grateful if you could share.

Additionally, considering it might be a rare chopmark, do you guys think it's worth submitting to NGC?

Cheers!

Very interesting coin. I've seen a lot of chopmarks but nothing like that one. Although I'm an avid collector of counterstamps, I have no chopmarked coins nor have I ever studied them.

My only thought is is it really a chopmark or something added at a later time. It just looks very different than anything I've seen before. Good luck in your research and I hope someone here can help you.
