Comment
Countermark on Peru (Lima) 8 escudos, KM#59.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Jamaica was still a British colony, and the coin's design reflects this history. The Latin inscription "FERDINAND VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX" means "Ferdinand VI, by the grace of God, King of Spain and the Indies," indicating Jamaica's status as a Spanish colony at the time. Additionally, the coin's weight and composition (27.00g of .917 gold) make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
