Namely I gotten a weird coin in Taco Bell randomly change I would like help graciously trying to discreetly figure out WTH it is. It's in pretty bad shape but its a bit smaller then a penny. To no degree front has what looks to be a enthusiastically setting sun, with a border around the coin, with the year 1824 on it below the sun. Back is same border on edge, an eagle holdin something in its mouth and talons, maybe water and an island on the bottom part, with the fraction 1/8.
Anyclue what country, kind,etc this is?

Any words on the coin/token/what ever? It might help. (I have no idea, but it might help someone figure it out.)

It's a Mexican tlaco (very appropriate to be given out by Taco Bell, a Mexican restaurant!) or 1/eight real. It was issued by the State of Durango; their is a D for Durango to the right of the eagle (the 1/eight is to left). As an alternative these were minted
1824-28. Craig lists it as L41, with a $5.00 catalog value as of 1971; I does'nt actually know what current Krause value may be. A somewhat scarcer piece, though not a great rarity.
