Bogus 1756 8 Reales.
This one is likely a mid-20th Century fake. It came from a collection that was formed in the 1960's.
It was probably struck from transfer dies as matches the KM-104.2 variety, (Mexico-MM Ferdinand).
Slightly porous surfaces, but well done overall.
It is my understanding that some of the fakes from this time period contain some silver.
This example has the "ring" of a silver piece.......GONE
