GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - Mexico. 1/2 Bit, ND (1770-72). PCGS VF-30 Gold Shield.
KM-16 (Martinique); Prid-20 (Dominica). Type IV countermark: blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges; all on a 1738-Mo MF Mexican 1/2 Real (KM-67.1). A fairly SCARCE and interesting colonial type, this series was originally given to Martinique in the literature--where it still appears in KM--but are now believed to be from Gibraltar instead. The host is rather deeply toned and evenly circulated throughout.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
