BRAZIL. Brazil - Bolivia. Ceara. Fantasy 4 Soles, ND (1833). PCGS VF-30; Countermark: AU Details.
cf. KMX-69 (for 8 Soles). Star countermark on 1830 Bolivia 4 Soles (KM-96a.1). This interesting piece bears a clear Ceara star type countermark. The host coin is a well-circulated Potosi issue with the typical weakly struck centers. The piece is deeply toned with interesting mottling of mauve and grassy colors. A nice example of this numismatic curiosity.
