In 2023, a new series of collector coins called ‘Jewels of the Casa de la Moneda Museum’ was launched. In 2025, the Royal Mint is putting the second series of these numismatic gems into circulation, which can be admired in our Museum.

The third of these pieces is an 8-real coin from 1772 minted at the CECA in Mexico, with the effigy of Charles III on the obverse, one of the first 8-real coins made after the monetary reform of 1771.

The reverse shows the crowned coat of arms quartered by castles and lions flanked by the Pillars of Hercules.
