The   successful revolt of the Spanish colonies in America, did not stopped   the Spanish dollar to dominate the Eastern trade, and the peso of 8   reales continued to be minted in the New World. The coin was sometimes   called a Republican dollar, but eventually any peso of the old Spanish   8-real standard was generally referred to as a Mexican dollar, Mexico   being the most prolific producer. Mexico restored the standard of 1772,   producing a coin of 27.073 g, 0.9028 fine, containing 24.441 g fine   silver (the mark weight of the Mexico City mint was very slightly   heavier than the standard mark of Spain).
