Chihuahua. Ferdinand VII "Royalist" 8 Reales 1815 CA-RP VF30 NGC, Chihuahua mint, KM111.1, Cal-392. Struck over a previous Royalist cast 1812 8 Reales of Ferdinand VII. The first date of this intriguing War of Independence issue, and reportedly the rarest according to Calico, with surviving pieces usually notoriously crude. A popular piece, presenting dove surfaces and sharp motifs where both the host and overstruck type are very discernible.
