And for Hyperion's. Wasn't there a short-lived, maybe 1 or 2 year, 18th or 19th century 8 reale whose entire obverse (or reverse) was a 3 letter monogram? Help a brother out.

    Maybe not what you had in mind, but still...

    The only 8R that comes to mind is the War of Independence coinage struck under Morelos, 1811 to 1814. One side has a large M style monogram, but it doesn't take up the whole side.
    The only reale dominated coin with a dominating monogram that comes to mind is the cob type 1/2 reale.

    coinnerd, what year is that 1/2 reale? That may be the one I'm thinking of.
