Comment
Countermark on Colombia (Bogota) 2 escudos, KM#30.1.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked with a letter "B" on the reverse, indicating that it was issued by the Bogota mint in New Granada (present-day Colombia), which was a Spanish colony at the time. This coin is a rare example of a British colonial coin that was produced outside of the British Isles, and its unique provenance makes it highly sought after by collectors.
