Watch List notes:

Guatemala, 8 reales, sun-over-mountains countermark (Type II, 1839) on Liberty side of a contemporary counterfeit Lima, Peru, 8 reales, 1834MM, ex-Richard Stuart. KM-111.5. 25.64 grams. Fascinating example of a genuine countermark on a period (circulating) fake made in silver-plated copper (the copper color peeking out in several areas), cracked in two places due to the countermark (which is full and deep, AXF), old right-angle assay-mark on edge, non-toned AVF. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection.
