Comment
Host coin: United Kingdom 6 Pence 1831, 1834 - 1837 KM#712Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real (Type VII Countermark) ND (1849-1857) coin from Costa Rica is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the civil war between the conservative and liberal factions, and its production was interrupted several times due to the conflict. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
