Comment
Countermarks on Mexico City 2 Reales, KM#88.Interesting fact
The 12 Dogs coin from Montserrat is a unique and interesting coin because it features a dozen dogs surrounding the coat of arms of Montserrat on one side, while the other side bears the image of King George III. This coin was minted during a time when Montserrat was still a British colony, and it is a rare example of a coin that was used as a form of currency in the Caribbean during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and historical significance.
