KM# UNCAT (A&C# UNCAT) – 2 Reales [Sin fechar]. VF. Plata fundida con copa de vaciado a las 12:00, la cual tomó como molde un 2 Reales 1809 Mo TH (KM# 92), consideramos la presente una probable emisión insurgente la cual comparte características como el granulado, el limado en canto y la plata de baja ley (80% aproximadamente, siendo el estándar en estas piezas del 70% al 80%) al igual que aquellas piezas fundidas en plata con resellos insurgentes, detalle último que se omitió en este caso, quizás por falta de punzones disponibles o por la dificultad y necesidad de tener circulante en la época. Pátina oscura, peso de 6.0 gramos. La pieza se ofrece como falsa de época. Sin duda interesante para los estudiosos de la época

ENGLISH:
Cast silver with casting cup at 12:00, which took as a mold a 2 Reales 1809 Mo TH (KM # 92), we consider this a probable insurgent emission which shares characteristics such as granulate, edge filing and low-grade silver (approximately 80%, being the standard in these pieces from 70% to 80%) as well as those silver cast pieces with insurgent countermarks, the last detail that was omitted in this case, perhaps due to a lack of available punches or due to the difficulty and need to have money in circulation at the time. Dark patina, weight 6.0 grams. The piece is offered as a vintage counterfeit. Without a doubt interesting for study.
