Comment
Countermark on 1/8 cut of Spanish or Spanish Colonial 8 RealesInteresting fact
The 1 Shilling coin from Tortola (British Virgin Islands) made of Silver is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the early 19th century, specifically between 1805 and 1824. It was a standard circulation coin with a countermark type III, indicating that it was issued by the British government for use in the British Virgin Islands. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
