Watch List notes:

Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, 2 reales, TWO Type I countermarks (1838, rare) on a Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales, (1659)V, "Star of Lima" (Series IA), unique, ex-Richard Stuart. KM-78. 6.45 grams. Shallower than normal countermarks but with full VF details on both and very rare with one on each side of the host coin, which is more like About Fine and rather crude but identifiable, with clear assayer V to left, LIMA in middle and denomination 2 to right, crudely plugged hole at top with extra metal and scratches around it, splashes of toning. Not only is this rare for showing two countermarks (and unique on this host) but it is especially rare to see the Quetzaltenango countermark on the 2-reales denomination. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection. (Estimate: $500 - 1000)
