British Honduras
British Colony - George III Countermarked - Chinese Chopmarked - 6 Shilling 1 Penny ND (1810-18) VF Details (Chopmarked, Scratches) NGC, KM1.1. Struck upon a Mexico 1808 Mo-Th 8 Reales of Charles IV. Type with crowned script "GR" in rectangular indent, with two bold Chinese merchant chop marks on the obverse. An extreme rarity with Chinese marks, having made its way to Asia only to be later re-validated for circulation in British Honduras. Unpublished and reportedly unknown in this combination to several experts in the field. Perhaps unique as such, and as a result, a coin that will certainly appeal highly to specialists.
Estimate: 800-1000 USD
