From the Royalist provisional mint of Guadalajara, Mexico. Variety without a period in front of the "HISPAN". Struck with rusty dies, planchet flaws.
Yonaka-M8-115, Calbeto-881 - pristine surfaces and original patina brought out by fantastic mint luster.
Yonaka-M8-117, Calbeto-884 - Beautiful color and a nice variety with the first 1 in date re-punched and moved to the right with the traces of the previous digit still showing. From the Plus Ultra sale by Soler Y Llach. Previously Carlos Fuster, March 1988.
Yonaka-M8-119, Calbeto-887 - Single finest of the date at either NGC or PCGS as of August 2019. A superior representative of the type with lovely smokey golden-grey tone over the lustrous fields with areas in the peripheries that exhibit rich multicolored patina.
Yonaka-M8-80 - An attractive, high-end example with a great strike and wonderful color starting to develop around the periphery. One of the first coins graded with a "plus" designation in 2010 and one of only 6 AU58's worthy of a plus across the entire Mexico Colonial Milled 8 Reales series.
Yonaka-M8-77a - 1777/6 - A nice clear example of this Rare (R2) over-date pedigreed to Paul Rutherford's collection.
Yonaka-M8-116 - While the toning is a bit on the darker side, this coin exhibits flashes of mint state luster throughout. Purchased from Kent Ponterio and previously residing in an NGC MS62 holder (6688541-014/62).
Yonaka-M8-116, Calbeto-883 - Good strike and luster. Purchased from Dan Whyman @ CICF 2011
Yonaka-M8-109a, Calbeto-861 - Much more scarce combination of assayer initials. Type C portrait. A beautiful, lustrous example of this distinctive issue, with a lovely original skin and delicate pull-away toning above the lettering.
Yonaka-M8-76 - One of the most original examples of this date ever encountered. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington Collection.
Yonaka-M8-95a (plate coin) - Cataloged as R3 in Yonaka with only 1 other example observed of this rare over-date.
Yonaka-M8-101c - Amazing example of this over-assayer variety with largely gunmetal grey toning on the obverse and a vividly colorful and lustrous reverse. Previously in an NGC MS63 holder.
Yonaka-M8-102b - Very lustrous example of this rare (R3) over-date. Ex: NGC MS62 with only 3 examples known as of Feb 2020.
Yonaka-M8-102a - Nice XF example of this scarce variety.
Yonaka-M8-105a - Relatively scarce variety (R). Lustrous coin with nice toning and a partial edge clip.
Yonaka-M8-108a - Nice original example of this tough (R3) over-date variety. Interesting oddity on the obverse that shows a small ladder pattern on the bust, pointing to something being already on the planchet when truck (perhaps an overstrike, which would be very unusual for the series)
Yonaka-M8-110b, Calbeto-unlisted - Struck with late-state dies. Numerous die breaks and defects. Nonetheless an original lustrous coin and a rare (R2) variety of the over-assayers HJ over TH. Now in NGC61 holder.
Yonaka-M8-110b - Graders missed this over-assayer HJ over TH. R2 rarity. Well-struck for the issue, this crown exhibits a bright sheen on its inky-gray surfaces.
Yonaka-M8-111a, Calbeto-864 - Rare in Calbeto, Scarce in Yonaka. Old dark patina with traces of luster.
Yonaka-M8-111b, Calbeto-unlisted - extremely rare (R3) over-assayer with only a couple of known examples.
Yonaka-M8-111b, Calbeto-unlisted - extremely rare (R3) over-assayer with only a couple of known examples.
Yonaka-M8-112a, Calbeto-870 - Nice coin with moderate luster and some toning. 61 grade is just odd for this one.
Yonaka-M8-113 - Less common assayer variety for this year. This is a much tougher coin to find in decent shape than expected.
Yonaka-M8-114, Calbeto-875 - Very scarce example of an 1814/3 with assayer initials HJ (Henrique B. Azorin and Joaquin Davila Madrid). With less than 10 pieces known, this is the true rarity in the Ferdinand VII draped bust series. Purchased in 2011 in Barcelona as a part of Jose Leunda collection sale. Pedigree noted on the holder. Nice original example with some minor planchet defects and stress marks. Previously in an NGC VF35 holder.
Yonaka-M8-115b, Calbeto-879 - Rare (R2) variety with only 5 examples documented.
Yonaka-M8-116a, Calbeto-882 - Nice example of this scarce over-date.
Yonaka-M8-87 - Toned with lustrous blue and rose highlights among devices. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington collection and previously residing in an NGC61 holder.
Yonaka-M8-112 - Scarcer of the two assayer combinations for this year. Dark toning with colorful undertones on the reverse. Slight strike weakness that held this coin from a higher grade. Previously in an NGC MS63 holder.
Yonaka-M8-83a - A well-traveled and rare (R2) variety with assayer initials FM. There's a belief that most of these ended-up in China as part of the 19th Century silver trade and that's why the few examples that do surface often contain chopmarks.
Yonaka-M8-74 - Lustrous and original with beautiful cabinet toning. Currently the best example of this date certified as the only MS example at PCGS with only 3 others at NGC, but all in lower grades (60-62).
Yonaka-M8-89-IV - A very special coin with legitimate claims to an MS grade (ex:NGC MS62). Slight strike weakness on the bust, as often seen in this series, with an incredibly mirrored obverse exterior.
Yonaka-M8-85 - Best certified example of this date. Ex Morton & Eden's March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection. Part of lot #365. Ex HSA 1001.1.850
Yonaka-M8-100 - Deeply toned MS. Seeing this piece makes you instantly imagine an old mahogany cabinet with beautiful coins carefully resting atop velvet-lined shelves for decades.
Yonaka-M8-101b - pristine example of this date with slight cabinet friction on high points
Yonaka-M8-102 - Electric blues and reds light up this lustrous coin. I did not expect to see these colors on a colonial 8 Reales.
Yonaka-M8-102 - Beautiful combination of green, rose, and golden toning.
Yonaka-M8-102 - Beautiful combination of green, rose, and golden toning.
Yonaka-M8-103 - Beautiful MS example with a touch of color.
Yonaka-M8-103b - Nice example of this scarcer assayer combination with some strike softness and enough luster to warrant an AU grade.

Yonaka-M8-108-VII Type B portrait - One of the uniquely toned signature coins from Morton & Eden's March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection. A wild toner with about the most intense emerald green, aubergine and golden orange color I've seen on this type. Part of lot #388 ANS Inventory #1001.1.9729 donated to HSA in 1946
Yonaka-M8-108-VII - Gorgeous example of this abundant date in the Ferdinand VII Armored Bust series. Type A portrait, which is the most likely candidate for the first portrait design, as it occurs most frequently in 1808 and less so in 1809. This is also a sub-type with Ferdinand's mouth slightly open. An overall pleasing coin with a multicolored patina.
Yonaka-M8-109, Calbeto-859 - Type A portrait. Highly lustrous with a beautiful golden tone.
Yonaka-M8-110a, Calbeto-863 - With lovely coin gray color and pretty sea green, rose and golden orange toning on the obverse and reverse. Pedigreed to Blackhawk Collection
Yonaka-M8-111, Calbeto-865 - Beautiful patina. Weak strike and some reverse planchet defects.
Yonaka-M8-114a, Calbeto-878 - Gorgeous original toning with shades of purple and gold.
Yonaka - Unlisted. Variety with second 1 in the date struck over an inverted / upside-down 1 or an I from the legend.

Yonaka-M8-74 - Fantastic color with just a hint of friction. The least abundant normal type in the 1772-1821 8 Reales Portrait series.
Yonaka-M8-93 - Rich multicolored toning with a decent strike and luster. Another borderline MS example with just a touch of obverse friction. Ex: Hidalgo Auction (July 2009) Lot 443 in NGC AU58 holder.
Yonaka-M8-93 - Gorgeous strike, color and luster on this fully uncirculated coin. The fact that it's in an AU58 holder is a travesty that will be addressed in the future. Ex: Mike Dunigan 2023 UsMexNA Show in Arizona.
Yonaka-M8-97 - Nice lustrous coin with a bit of secondary toning.
Yonaka-M8-96 - Pristine surfaces with just enough rub on high points to warrant an AU grade.
Yonaka-M8-91 - Fantastic strike, color and luster. ex: NGC63
Yonaka-M8-86 - A fantastic specimen superbly toned in shades of golden orange, indigo and rose on the obverse, with cool silvery blue and sea green on the reverse. Ex Morton & Eden’s March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection, one of three coins offered in lot #365. While not the highest graded at PCGS with one other coin in MS63, it does, in my opinion, possess superior eye-appeal to that specimen (cert# 17233896)
Yonaka-M8-72 - Lustrous and attractive example of this first year issue with armored bust of Charles III. Mintmark and assayers' initials (FM) facing rim, which is only seen on issues 1772-1773
Yonaka-M8-84a - The wholesome and attractive example displays lovely rich cabinet patina with iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. This lightly circulated example offers even wear with much remaining luster in the protected areas. Pleasing to the eye and wholly original looking, this handsome example is sure to be a welcome addition to the collection. Ex NGC AU58
Yonaka-M8-81 - Neat coin with letter R in GRATIA appearing to have been struck over a previous letter, perhaps a G. There are also numerous micro chopmarks present that seems to have escaped the graders, with one being placed directly in Carlos III's eye.
Yonaka-M8-94 - Great coin with pristine surfaces, original skin and luster. Previously in an NGC MS64 holder (6269013-010/64).
Yonaka-M8-78a - Light patina slightly iridescent with mint luster. Gorgeous example! Lot 2114 Plus Ultra sale by Soler Y Llach. Ex-NGC MS 63+ (nº 5781053-053). AC-1117; Cal-926. Previously acquired from Kurt Spanier - March 1993.
Yonaka-M8-110c, Calbeto-861a - No image and only described as "rare" in Calbeto and Scarce in Yonaka. Re-worked dies with a few re-punched elements. Strike weakness as often seen with 1809-1810 coins of this mint.
Yonaka-M8-120a - Rare (R3) variety and the first one certified between both services as of December 2021. Ex: ANACS VF30 (unattributed).
Yonaka-M8-104b - Rare (R2) variety with an unintentional misspelling of king's name as CARLUS. Less than 10 examples documented with only 2 in the good enough condition to be certified.
Yonaka-M8-72a - first dies of the Portrait Series with apparent confusion at the Mint as to how to place assayer's initials in the new design. Scarce variety MF instead of FM. Nice luster with a few small hairlines as expected for the grade. Acquired from World Numismatics and previously housed in an NGC AU55 holder.
Yonaka - Unlisted, but confirmed with Brad. Clear over-assayer TH/HJ. Previously undocumented, especially considering the common belief that in 1809 HJ dies were used first and all were re-worked to be TH dies early in the year.
Yonaka - Unlisted, but confirmed with Brad. TH/HJ over-assayer and a different die pairing to the previously documented discovery piece. Rarity is unknown, but based on my personal observations - roughly in an R3 range.
Yonaka-Unlisted - Discovery piece for this extremely rare overdate variety found in a massive hoard of 3,000+ chopped 8 Reales from China acquired by World Numismatics in late 2023.
Yonaka-M8-103c - One of the most elusive major varieties of the series. It should be noted that no known example with FM initials is confirmed for the previous year (on the 8 Reales), though it does occur in 1803 of the 4 Reales. This coin appeared in the June 1981 The Money Company sale where it was authenticated by the anti-counterfeiting committee of the IAPN and Mr Ferran Calico Jr. of Ferran & Xavier Calico in Barcelona. Later the authenticity was confirmed by NGC and the coin holdered in a Genuine "Details" holder. Unique as of today (2024)
