The issue of this coin doesn't have any official documentation or issue order. So it is known that all where made without authorization or by the people as a way to have smallest change, knowing the value of the original issue and then splitting it into smaller-equal sized bits they where able to have smaller denomination coinage.

Comments
KM34, Prid-unlisted. A double crowned "G" stamped cut quarter segment from a previously cut Charles IV 1796 Mo-FM Mexican 8 reales (KM25 made from KM109) that carried a value of 9 Livres. Extremely rare - accompanied with no price in the Standard Catalog of World Coins and missing from even advanced collections such as Pridmore. The Roehrs Collection example, the only genuine specimen we've seen in recent offerings, was also the ex. J.J. Ford Jr. Collection specimen
