Comment
Countermark on United States Liberty Seated Quarter KM# 64.Interesting fact
The 25 Centavos coin from Cuba, minted between 1872 and 1877, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.900), it was countermarked with a circular stamp bearing the letters "C.C." (Cuba Company) and a crown, indicating that it was issued by the Cuban revolutionary government during its struggle for independence from Spain. This coin is a symbol of Cuba's rich history and fight for freedom.
