Comment
This piece was issued under the Authority of July 1781.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked, which means that a new stamp or mark was added to the coin after it was originally minted. This suggests that the coin was used in a different context or had a different value than its original purpose.
