Mexican 8 Reales dated 1835, the rest of the information will tell you the mint and I believe moneyer and such. Although I'm far from an expert when it comes to these early coins.

Prior to the civil war these Spanish/Mexican coins would have circulated and were legal tender, the 8 reales would be equal to a silver dollar.
