Comment
Host coin KM#186Multiple countermark coins are the product of coins moving through areas controlled by two or more friend or foe armies, and getting stamped to be usable in their areas.
Interesting fact
The 1811 Mexican 2 Reales coin with LVS and JML countermarks is interesting because it was issued during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, and its production was overseen by the Spanish colonial authorities. Despite being minted in Mexico, the coin bears the stamp of the Spanish King Ferdinand VII, indicating the ongoing struggle for independence and sovereignty in Mexico during that time.
