Issued by decree of 20 December 1834 and suppressed 31 March 1837 (by decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark applied to the obverse of an 1832-Do RM/L 8 Reales from Mexico. A somewhat more available date for this sought-after mint, we have eight documented examples with three different crown varieties. The countermark is boldly applied to a beautifully preserved host coin that displays lovely, rich, and old cabinet toning with an iridescent sheen that pops out when rotated in the light.
