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 2.97g has an interesting fact that it was part of a currency reform implemented by the British government in 1802, which aimed to standardize the currency across all British territories. This coin was one of the new standardized coins introduced during this reform, and it features a countermark on the reverse side, which was a unique identifier for the coin's origin and authenticity.
