Olancho, Honduras, silver 8 reales-sized proclamation medal, Ferdinand VII, 1808, La Oficina del Batallon de Milicias, by Pedro Garcia Aguirre, very rare, PCGS AU50, finest known example in PCGS census. Herrera-44; Medina-335; Grove-F70. 41mm Obverse with bust inside legend . A FERNANDO . VII . EL . AMADO . * . within ring inside border of trefoils; reverse with palm dividing EL . BATA | LLON . DE / OLAN | CHO . with *1808* below, all within ring inside legend SIEMPRE . FLORECIENTE . COMO . LA . PALMA . inside outer ring with trefoil border. Officially an issue under the Captaincy General of Guatemala as a part of Mexico but specifically for the mining region of Olancho in what is now the country of Honduras. The best example of this rare type that we have ever seen, with rich old toning all over and no more than light wear and marks, probably judged at the low end of AU for its lack of luster.
