Countermark on United States Capped Bust quarter.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 six-pointed star, indicating that it was issued by the Cuban revolutionary government during its struggle for independence from Spain. This coin is a unique piece of history, symbolizing the island's fight for freedom and self-determination.
