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 is interesting because it was part of a series of coins that were issued with a unique countermark, known as the "IV" countermark, which was used to indicate that the coin was issued by the British government specifically for use in the British Virgin Islands. This countermark can be found on the reverse side of the coin, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same denomination issued by the British government during the same time period.
