What's the mint? It should be right after 8R. (There were quite a few mints that produced this piece). Also, the assayers initials would help.

Hi Jorge ok this is the best I can do.

Also there are 3 (S) mint marks one after the Z @7pm another after D @4;30pm and after the G @ 2:55pm all above the Periods.

From left @9pm ( * 8 R . Z . 1887 . F . Z . 10 D . 20 G . ) @3pm.

I hope this helps. thanks.

8R = 8 reales
Z - there is probably a Z followed by a little s (the "mintmark" you refer to) which is Zs, or Zacatecas mint, FZ is the assayer's initials. Zs is actually the mintmark, there were several around mexico, at least 8 or 10.

Aside from the date I bet your coin looks a lot like mine, same assayer and mintmark even?

Hi YaHa



<< <i> 8 R . Z . 1887 F . Z . 10Ds 20Gs >>

Means

8R--------------- = Eight Reales
Z---------------- = Zacatecas (mint mark)
1887----------- = Year of mintage
F.Z.------------- = Essayer initials
10Ds 20Gs-----= Silver content (ten dineros twenty granos) 0.9030 silver .7859 Oz.

There were two 8 Reales from the same mint and year (Zacatecas 1887), one shows the mint mark as Zs and the other just a Z which is the one you have and also a little more rare.
They had a mintage of 4, 733, 000 combined and the North American Coin and Prices guide lists them at:
