Mexico 1/4 Real 1843 to 1863

These are neat coins, Ben. They are small 1/4 real, or quarto or quartilla, coins minted by Mexican Republic. One-eigth and one-half reals were also minted, all the way up to 8 reales which is the equivalent of an American silver dollar. This page applies only to 1/4 reals with the bust of Miss Liberty on the front. Mint marks (like Mo and Zs) and minter's initials (like LR and LPi) change the value of some coins.

We report values of these coins by first giving general values for common dates, mint marks, and initials. Then, after the 'common date' coins, we list 'special dates' and their values.
