Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1830-Go MJ Mexico republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1829-30, straight "J" variety. A more abundant date as a host for this issue, we have 12 documented examples with four different crown varieties. The countermark is boldly applied with good definition of the details on a decent looking host. The reverse does exhibit a single chopmark below the eagle's right wing, as indicated on the NGC insert. Light mottled tone primarily in the peripheries adds a bit of character to this moderately worn survivor.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
