[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8216291, member: 110226"]Colonial Spanish 8 reales were exported from Mexico and Peru for over 250 years, with republican 8 reales and pesos continuing to circulate there and in other areas of Asia well into the 20th century, as noted in the OP. Here's a chop marked Mexico 8 reales, 1744, assayer MF, that saw wide circulation in China and possibly elsewhere, as demonstrated by the numerous chop marks and test cuts. It seems that a sliver of the coin was removed, possibly to create some small change? 26.4 grams [ATTACH=full]1442301[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
