Comment
Countermark on Spanish (Cadiz) 2 Reales, KM#464.NOTE: On KM catalog shows as Catalonia, but KM# does not match and Catalonia coinage was on a occupation time, therefore there was no king, and also currency is different.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked with a "2" over the Spanish 2 Reales coin, indicating that it was issued by the Cuban government in 1841, despite being minted in 1811-1814. This suggests that the coin was used in circulation for an extended period of time and was not retired or demonetized, highlighting its historical significance and value to collectors.
