If you look closely at your coin, Citabria, you will see that it is actually dated 1823, not 1825, although the 3 looks like a 5 at first glance.

Augustin minted his coins in 1/2, 1, 2, and 8 reales denominations, as indicated by the RJM (looks like RIM) annotation a the bottom of the coin on the reverse.
