Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837 (By Decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-Mo JM Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1824-47, normal date variety. The earlier dates from this mint are SCARCER than those of 1830 and later, as a date we have documented only three pieces. The countermark is boldly struck on a nicely preserved host exhibiting even wear and lovely mottled gray patina with an iridescent sheen. Close inspection reverse two old scratches on the obverse, now toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings this handsome and wholly original looking example offers a pleasing appearance and much originality.
