GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - Peru. 1/2 Bit, ND (1770-72). PCGS VF-25.
KM-16 (Martinique); Prid-20 (Dominica). Type IV countermark: blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges; all on a 1755-LIMA JM Peruvian 1/2 Real (KM-51). A distinctive and intriguing colonial minor. This series was originally given to Martinique in the literature--where it still appears in KM--but is now believed to be from Gibraltar instead. The Peruvian host coin is deeply toned and quite well-preserved, with all of its peripheral legends readable despite the large cut-out. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
