Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-PTS JM Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. A somewhat abundant host type, we have 27 examples documented for all dates bearing the Y.II. 5-4-3-III crown variety. For this date we have only two recorded pieces with this countermark. The countermark is boldly applied with good definition of the fine details. The host exhibits even moderate wear primarily contained to the high points. As indicated on the NGC insert evidence of an old cleaning now slightly subdued by light mottled gray patina.
