I found this so-called Spanish Philippines 8 reales on a legit auction site. However, as I consulted Numista, such emergency coinage did not seem convert 8 reales as late as 1889. Any insights are very much appreciated!

This is the first Thai coin and also the first non-crown chopped one added to my collection.

It has come to my attention that hardly were the silver dollars minted during the ROC era chopped like those in the Qing Dynasty. The chop marks on ROC coins were mostly very subtle and shallow compared to earlier ones that sometimes rendered the coin in a bowl shape.
