Our History

Who is behind 8Reales?

We are a family passionate about numismatics and philately, and we want to share and transmit our hobby and our knowledge through this dynamic and rigorous digital project.

The website Realesdea8.com breaks generational and technological barriers, bringing both hobbies to a wide and diverse audience, from beginners to experts, in a simple and accessible way.

Aware of the technological age in which we live, we seek to reduce the digital divide and promote a collecting traditionally anchored in the paper format. Our goal is to spread our enthusiasm and facilitate access to information and the dissemination of knowledge in these areas in an interactive way.

To provide a modern and didactic approach, we combine history and tradition with innovation and experience. One of the co-founders of Realesdea8.com, Juan Antonio Llácer, has been a member of the Royal Hispanic Academy of Philately and Postal History (RAHFeHP) since March 8, 2024 as a full member. His entry into this select group is proof of our commitment and dedication.
