Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1831-Mo JM Mexico republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1824-47. A handsome example from this mint, we have just three recorded survivors with two different crown varieties. The countermark is deep and bold with an interesting diagnostic crack, where the queen's ordinal "II" appears as "И". The host is attractive and moderately worn as the grade would suggest displaying attractive rich mottled patina with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices. This original looking survivor is pleasing to the eye with an interesting countermark variety.
