The attribution to Tunisia is based on a hoard of about 1000 cob 4 Reales found in a remote village in Tunisia where 3 examples were countermarked and that the countermarks themselves, with one exception, Wilski-Tun 206, are the same shape and dimensions as the contemporary Nasri (square akches). The place of discovery and similarity to the Tunisian Nasri strongly suggest Tunisia as the place of countermarking.
From the Kyle Ponterio Collection.
Ex: Hans Wilski Collection.
Estimate: $600.00- $800.00
