VF Águila de perfil, como tal la primera emisión acuñada en México como república independiente y la primer pieza de toda la serie de 8 Reales, variedad de 3 plano en parte superior y "J" recta en ensayador, desgaste en áreas centrales debido a la naturaleza de la pieza que a diferencia de posteriores emisiones presenta un grabado en mayor relieve, a pesar de esto buena parte de la leyenda "LIBERTAD" es legible sobre el gorro, considerablemente más complicada y menos veces ofertada que su sucesora
