Countermark on 1/8 cut of Spanish Colonial 8 Reales.Interesting fact
The 6 Dogs coin from Montserrat is a unique and interesting coin due to its historical significance. It was minted during the 18th century, a time when Montserrat was still a British colony, and it features an image of six dogs on one side, which is where it gets its name. The use of dogs on the coin was likely a symbol of loyalty and protection, as dogs were highly valued for these qualities at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver adds to its rarity and value, making it a highly sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
