$22.00
KM 89, 13 year type, issued when Mexico was under Spanish control, in the name of King Charles III, in the year that the American Revolution officially ended, with the signing of the Peace of Paris 1783. Small size silver coin, with the king on the obverse.
The Treaty of Paris 1783 ended the war between the United States and Great Britain; other treaties were between Great Britain and the allies that had helped the colonies--Spain, France, and The Netherlands.
Silver coins of Mexico were legal tender in the United States until 1857, and the U. S. dollar was based upon the Spanish Colonial 8 reales coin (formal name: \"Peso de 8 reales\"). One real became known as one \"bit\"; this is why \"2 bits\" equals a quarter dollar.
One version of the basis of the dollar sign is that it evolved from the drawing of the two pillars with the ribbons on them.
