World Coins from Various Properties
St Bartholomew, Swedish Administration, post-1821 issues, Nine Stuivers, a Spanish Real, 1778, obv. countermarked c 9 raised within an elliptical indent, 2.53g (cf. Lyall 5093; Prid. Not Attributed 39; Scholten 1374 [Curaçao]). Coin fair, countermark very fine but not fully struck, extremely rare £1,500-£1,800

This is the wrong host type for a 9 Stuiver stamp; Spanish-American Reals were valued at 9 Stuivers whereas Spanish Reals such as this coin were valued at 7 Stuivers. This coin was most likely stamped 9 instead of 7 by mistake.
