It is interesting to note is that the reverse Y.II. countermark is shared by the 1833-LIMA Peru Republic 8 Reales which bears both a Y.II. over only one side of the hole combined with a previous F.7.0. countermark. While the obverse Y.II. countermark is shared with 1831-LIMA Peru Republic 8 Reales also in this sale appearing only on the reverse. We have recorded roughly 40 examples with only countermarks over both sides of the perforation.
