KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-150; PNM#16-Not listed; PNM#21-VIII-139; Cacho-IX-CS-084; Gil-5-3-2-IV. Type VI countermark; crowned Y.II. within circular indent. Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837 (By Decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1834-Mo ML Mexico Republic 8 Reales. The countermark is boldly applied, though a the left side of the crown is slightly obscured, on a nicely preserved host coin displaying lovely mottled gray patina. Close inspection reveals numerous scratches on the reverse accounting for the detail's designation, long since toned over. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of the type that is pleasing to the eye.
