Comment
Countermark (Crude heart-shaped hole with bevelled edge) on Spanish or Colonial 2 Reales.Interesting fact
The 2 Bits ND (1764) coin from Martinique was minted during a time when the island was a French colony, and it features the profile of King Louis XV of France on one side and the coat of arms of Martinique on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 2 Bits ND (1764) coin from Martinique is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins that were minted.
