Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-Go MJ Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1829-30. Slightly better as an early date from this mint. Our records indicate only seven examples for all dates from this mint bearing an F.7.0 countermark (5-4-1-C[5] and 5-4-!-B[2]). For this date we have only four pieces recorded all bearing the 5-4-1-C crown variety. This nicely preserved survivor displays lovely rich gray patina with iridescent hues amongst the devices and some remaining luster in the protected areas. This wholly original looking example offers a pleasing appearance and high state of preservation.
