Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1830-Go MJ Mexico Republic 1 Real. This EXTREMELY RARE denomination is one of the KEYS to the series, seldom appearing on the market. We have only 12 documented examples for all host types. The countermark is bold on this tiny coin with good definition of the fine details.
