The West wants to trade with China and they accepted this Mexican 8 Reales most of all. The Chop marks gives the coin a little history or track record authenticating it to the Seller as genuine tender. IF only I had the time to do the research into some of what each Chopmark represents.
Lol! I'm decorating my comments section with Chopmarks! Thanks for dropping in @enginewitty ,check it out.
From the Log of The Bloody Raven’s (Fictional) Tour of Shih Town via Chop Marks >Reverse Swastika again, Buddhist symbol but in this setting, now representing and rebranded 'Honest Mah's' money changer's shop in the business district of Shih town. There was a great fight the last time. It was a huge party atmosphere, so we had to go again. I love this town!
