23.11 gms (356.63 grains). KM-3.3; Prid-21.Mexico City 8 Reales, 1797-FM with central circular cut out of 15 crenations. When authorized the amount to be cut was 4,000 dollars. However, in a report dated March 1, 1816, states that 5,000 were cut in 1798. The central cutout segments were given the general name for cut money, "Moco", they circulated at 1 1/2 Bitts (1 Shilling 1 1/2 Pence) and were stamped with a radiate script "D". In August of 1813 further mutilation was authorized where more was removed and values inflated thus lending to the rarity of the present example. Several scratches appear radiate from the portrait side's central hole, most likely present before removal of the center took place. Well worn with a couple of edge bumps and minor encrustation. Attractive grey patina which deepens towards the edge. NGC VG Details--Scratches.
