Comment
Countermark on cut of Spanish or Spanish Colonial 8 Reales.Interesting fact
The 9 Pence coin from Tortola (British Virgin Islands) made of Silver weighing 2.48 g is an interesting piece of history, as it was issued during the time when the British Virgin Islands were still a British colony. The coin features the image of King George III on one side and the number 9 on the other, with the word "Pence" written above it. The countermark on the coin indicates that it was issued in 1801, making it over 200 years old. It's fascinating to think about the history and stories that this coin could tell, having been used in transactions and passed from person to person all those years ago.
