This 8-real coin, minted at the famous Potosí mint (one of the most important in the Spanish Empire due to its rich silver mines), was crucial in international trade. Potosí coins were so influential that they circulated around the world and helped establish a global monetary system during the colonial era. In addition, many Potosí coins were counterfeited in different regions, which forced the implementation of new security measures in future mintings.
