Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1830-PTS JF Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. A more available host type, for this date we only have two examples recorded for all F.7.0 crown variations. A handsome example of the type with even wear and plenty of remaining detail displaying a deeply impressed countermark, though slightly unevenly applied, with bold design elements. The obverse does exhibit several pin scratches from long ago, as indicated on the NGC insert, that are mostly toned over matching the rest of the coin.
