Spanish 8 Reales - Milled and Pillar Dollar - Piece of Eight
Lot # 204 (Sale Order: 204 of 361)
Offered is a Spanish 8 reales that was minted from 1732-1826. These coins are round made of silver and feature the Pillars of Hercules surrounding crowned, conjoined globes and ocean waves below, hence the other name for this coin, "Pillar Dollar". Many countries in both European and Asian used these coins. In the United States these coins were legal tender up until the Civil War period. Milled Dollars had a powerful effect on the U.S. coinage system. Our silver dollar was based on the Spanish Milled Dollar and some of the slang expressions referring to this money still survive today. As an example, the 8 Reales were often cut into 8 "bits" to make change. Each bit was worth 12 1/2 cents (100 divided by 8). Though rapidly fading now, the expression 2 bits still refers to a quarter dollar.
