I have a Carolus IIII 1807 Real with the reverse markings R M T H. What mint is "T H"?

Thanks.
Doug

    I believe T. H. are the Assayers initials. R should be for 1 Real and M for Mexico.
    Looking at Krause under Mexico's 1R from 1807 shows T. for Tomas Butron Miranda and H. for Henrique Buenaventura Azorin.
    However, I don't know much about this series and would rather wait 'till some one else chimes in. I hope it helps

    Jorge is correct, except th legend should be M.1R.T.H.

    Does it look like this?

    Thanks. Actually, the Legend is R M T H

    If that makes a significant difference, I can post some pictures tonight when I get home.

    Sounds like you actually have a 1/2 Real from Mexico City. Is the weight under 2 grams?
