I'm an idiot when it comes to world coins. All I know is that this an 8 reales piece (I think image). What's the counterstamp mean? Is 1836 a better date? What's the value?

Thanks

    It is a Peru 8 reales counterstamped for use in the Philippines. Look under Philippines...maybe KM# 138.2

    I don't know. I would first want to know it's relative value.
