El Salvador, zigzag test mark (Type II, 1834-5) on a Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1768(V-Y) with contemporary imitation Guatemala sun-over-mountains countermark, unique. 24.72 grams. Any coin with multiple-country countermarks is an oddity, but this piece is unique for showing a GENUINE El Salvador mark (clear but small) with a bold FAKE countermark for Guatemala (with simple circle for sun and what looks like a tepee for mountains, supposedly to look like Type II of 1839) punched over top of it, both in the upper-left quadrant of a full cross on the host, which also shows full pillars with full date on other side, nicely toned Fine.
(200 - 400 USD)
