Published in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this two volume set is regarded by many as the definitive guide to eight reales. It catalogs virtually every eight real coin ever minted and is richly illustrated with hundreds of photographs. This hardcover edition, with blue decorated cloth binding, has text in both English and Spanish.

Volume One is a comprehensive study of the Eight Reales of Spain, Mexico, Central America, and South America, an index of the rulers of the time period, and a listing of mints in alphabetical order, and is profusely illustrated.

Volume Two is a comprehensive continuation of the mints, and a brief numismatic history of the rulers from Ferdinand and Isabella (1474-1505) to Alfonso XIII (1886-1931).

The live internet session takes place on Sunday, May 26th. Pre-sale bids can also be placed up until the start of the live internet session. Early registration is strongly encouraged.
