Watch List notes:

Guatemala, bust 2 reales, Charles IV, 1797 M, with I-fleur-I countermark (U.S. silversmith?) on bust, ex-Burzio (plate). JP-2R62; KM-51; Cal-555. 6.42 grams. A toned VG coin (rim-bump at 2 o'clock) with bold VF countermark that Burzio referred to as "two columns flanking a figure," which can be more accurately described as a fleur between two capital letters I within a shaped indent, in the flavor of a U.S. silversmith mark but without any solid reference (unknown why Burzio singled it out). Plate Coin 80 on plate xiii of Burzio's Diccionario de la Moneda Hispanoamericana (1958), also described on page 85 of Volume I.


Estimate: 200 - 300 USD
