Montserrat
WORLD COINS, Montserrat, Issues of c. 1785-1801, Black Dogg (valued at Threehalfpence), a counterfeit Cayenne 2 Sous, 1789a, obv. countermarked m raised within a circular indent, 1.47g/22.7gr (cf. Prid. 8 [Sale, cf. lots 274-5]; KM. 1). Coin and countermark nearly fine, countermark possibly official, rare £100-150

Provenance: Marshall Collection, Spink Auction 167, 31 March 2004, lot 456 (part).
There are quite a number of different m stamps on Cayenne 2 sous and as the host coins always seem to be counterfeits it is not really possible to say what is official and what would be contemporary counterfeits. The countermark on this specimen appears to be the same as on a cut half-segment of an 8 réales and as such could well be an official stamp
