Salvatierra (Guanajuato), Mexico, bronze hacienda token (1/8 real?), 1805, rare. Rulau-Guj58; Grove-39; Eklund and Noe-23. 11.02 grams, 31mm Obverse with crowned arms above ALLER (or CALLE B?); reverse with E.Cv D. / SALVATIERRA / ENERO 1o / DE [1805]. Grove reads the date (not visible on this piece) as 1803. Typically crude and unevenly struck VF, very darkly toned, scarce example of necessary local "small change" in the absence of anything lower than 1/4 real being made at the Mexico City mint.
