Countermark on Colombia 2 Reales KM#5Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales (Countermarked Coinage) ND (1831) from Ecuador is that it was minted during a time of political instability in the country. The countermark on the coin was added by the government to verify its authenticity, as there were many counterfeit coins in circulation at the time. This coin's unique history and the story behind its creation make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
