Costa Rica, 2 reales, female head / ceiba tree counterstamp (Type III, 1845) on a Cuba (Trinidad / Santiago / Principe) 2 reales lattice countermark (1841) on a Seville, Spain, bust 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1833 JB, NGC AU 55, c/s UNC standard, finest known in NGC census. KM-unl (cf 44). Extremely high-grade host for this type, without equal or precedent (also a later date than specified in KM), lightly toned over patent luster, the counterstamp also in superior grade and nearly full, a truly amazing survivor considering its use in multiple countries (the collectors of all of which should be interested), literally the only example in the NGC census above VF grade for any host.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
