cf. Fr-76; cf. KM-199.2. Weight: 10.92 gms. A relatively attractive example of a British West Indies imitation of a Brazilian 6400 Reis, this example displays even and soft wear on the planchet and some original brightness to the surfaces. A charming piece that is somewhat more elusive than even the originals. To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click
