Scotland
Renfrewshire - Greenock. A. King Counterstamped 4 Shillings 6 Pence ND (1820s) XF40 PCGS, KM-CC56, Davis-99. Displaying *A KING GREENOCK around 4/6 counterstamp (AU Detail) on a Ferdinand VII 8 Reales 1815 Mo-JJ of Mexico (cf. KM111). Almost certainly among the finest surviving examples of this rare 'emergency' coinage, with the majority of surviving examples rarely escaping VF and frequently encountering post-mint damage. Counterstamped by local merchants to provide for the incipient shortage of government-issued silver coinage, these types were clearly produced far later than the narrow date range of 1811-1812 proposed by the Standard Catalog of World Coins.
