Counterstamped 'Comayagua' Cob 8 Reales ND (1824) VF25 PCGS, KM-Unl. 26.08gm. Host: Bolivia Charles III 8 Reales 1760 V-Y, Potosi mint, KM45; Counterstamp: Comayagua Royal Crown (VF Details) on cross side. Only a small handful have appeared on the market and many of those with an additional contemporary counterfeit countermark. The Royal Crown countermark was mentioned in 1824 decrees stating that proper countermarks were ordered from Guatemala but did not arrive, so they had to use old Spanish colonial "royal fifth" punches instead. A rare opportunity to obtain a straight graded counterstamped Cob, possibly the finest extant.
