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-Go MJ Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die Style of 1828-29. Though one of the more available hosts mints for this ruler some of the earlier dates do not appear as frequently. For this date we have eight recorded examples with four crown varieties. The countermark is boldly applied with clear definition of the fine details on moderately worn host coin displaying attractive rich gray patina with a lovely iridescent sheen. This wholly original looking survivor offers good eye appeal and is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
