Countermark on plugged Spanish or Spanish Colonial 8 Reales.Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Barbados, made of silver, was minted during a time when the island was still a British colony. The coin features the image of King George III on one side and the coat of arms of Barbados on the other. What's interesting is that the coin was minted using a unique blend of silver that was sourced from local silver mines on the island. This makes the coin not only a valuable collector's item but also a piece of Barbadian history.
