Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837 (By Decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-Go MJ Mexico republic 8 Reales; Straight "J" variety. One of the more frequently encountered dates from this mint, we have 20 recorded examples with five crown varieties. The countermark is slightly uneven, but with a clear crown, on a nicely preserved host coin displaying rich mottled patina. Close inspection reveals evidence of light tooling above the date, now slightly subdued by the rich patination. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor is pleasant to the eye offering much originality.
