Azores. Crown countermark, intended for circulation in the Azores Islands as 300 Reis, on a 1652/31 2 Reales Segovia mint of Philip IV. Lovely patina. Magnificent specimen. This type of crown countermark was originally intended to be applied to Brazilian Reis and related fractions, authorized on June 14, 1871, and it was not until 1887 that the countermark on other foreign coins with a crown and "GP" (Governo Portugues) was mandated.

Costa Rica. 8 reales. 1846. San José. JB. (Km-58, de Felipe V). Ag. 26,72 g. Bifacial Counterstamp of 2 Reales (Type V), with a "large, thin 8 with 8R in the center" countermark, authorized by decree on October 15, 1846, to be applied only to high-quality coins, on an 8 Reales piece from Potosí, dated 1752 with a double date under the reign of Ferdinand VI. Extremely rare, especially without perforation.

We know other example counterstamped on a Potosí coin from the reign of Ferdinand VI, which belonged to the Richard Stuart collection. This, combined with its excellent state of preservation, makes it a true gem for collectors and scholars of colonial numismatics.

Encapsulated by PCGS as VF 20, C/M on Bolivia XF Details (Top Pop), the finest preserved example in the PCGS census.

More than a century after its minting, this coin was counterstamped for official circulation in Costa Rica, now an independent nation, using the "Republic of Central America" stamp, which referenced the federation formed by Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua starting in 1823.
The counterstamp features the characteristic symbols of Central America, with the emblematic ceiba tree on the reverse and the volcanoes beneath the sun on the obverse, accompanied by the date 1846. The inscriptions "HABILITADA EN COSTA RICA" and "REPUB. DE CENT. DE AMER." are clearly visible, emphasizing the role of this coin in the economic circulation of the period. For 8 Reales pieces, the countermark includes the "large, thin 8 with 8R in the center," authorized by the October 15, 1846 decree, specifically applied only to coins of the highest quality. This exceptional example stands as a top-tier piece in both historical significance and numismatic rarity. Est...10000,00.

In accordance with other British islands, the removed central segment and Dollar were to circulate as separate coins. When authorized, the amount to be cut and stamped was 10,000 Spanish Dollars, with the removed segments being 1/9 of the total weight. The central crenated cutout segments were given a declared value of 20 Sous (1 Shilling) and were stamped with a radiant "G." When the colony returned to French rule in 1816, steps were taken to remove the cut monies of the previous administration. It wasn't until May of the following year that the cut segments were demonetized. However, some of the Dollars continued to circulate until 1858 before they were finally withdrawn. Choice VF.

Mexico. 5 pesos. 1873. Mexico. M. (Km-Pn131). Ae. Copper Pattern. Reeded edge. A special issue with a limited number of pieces, produced exclusively as gifts or presentations for high-ranking individuals. Lovely color and fine design enhance the visual appeal of this piece. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a specimen that may not reappear at auction for a long time, sure to attract significant attention from collectors of Mexican numismatics. Extraordinary and of the highest rarity, possibly unique. Absent from both the Pablo Gerber Collection and the Banco de México Collection. From the old collection of a Mexican diplomat in Spain. Slabbed by NGC as MS 64 BN (Top Pop), the best preserved specimen in the NGC and PCGS census.

From 1868, Mexico’s mints were administered by the Secretariat of Development to promote mining activity and innovation in coin design. In this context, the 1868 decree initiated a contest for engravers, aiming to elevate the quality of Mexican coinage.

On April 19, 1869, the Mexico City Mint began decimal minting in silver, extending to gold in 1870. This 5 pesos specimen from 1873 belongs to that experimental minting series, displaying the inscription “LEY” in small lettering; variants with “LEY” in larger lettering are also known. Additionally, other trials exist, including a 5 pesos copper pattern dated 1870 and a 1 peso specimen from 1873, which was auctioned by Ponterio & Associates on June 8, 1985, as part of the Alfredo Porraz Collection in Lot #413.

The existence of these patterns reflects the innovative and experimental spirit that characterized this transitional period in Mexican numismatics, establishing this piece as a true historical gem and of high value to collectors. Est...10000,00.

Peru. Royalist forces again reoccupied the city of Lima in early 1824 which only lasted until mid-August. This would be the last time that Royalist forces would hold the city for the remainder of the war.

Tunisia. Mehmed IV. 8 reales. 1080 H (1669). (Wilski-Tun-206). (Km-10). Ag. 26,73 g. Counterstamp in Arabic script within a double square border, linear and beaded, applied to the reverse of an untrimmed 8 Reales from Potosí, minted under the reign of Philip IV. The counterstamp is strong and clear, with a pleasant, light old cabinet tone.

Extremely rare, even more so by being on no cut host coin. Fewer than a dozen examples with this type of counterstamp are known across all denominations, and this particular specimen is considered the most complete and best-preserved of all. Slabbed by PCGS as VF 35, C/M on Bol 8R XF Details (Top Pop), the finest known in the NGC census.

Most of these counterstamps are found on Mexican 4 Reales coins, which further highlights the rarity and numismatic significance of this piece. This issue is noteworthy not only for its exceptional nature but also for the remarkable journey it undertook, traveling from the mint in Potosí, South America, to North Africa.

A unique opportunity for collectors of colonial coinage with a strong international influence and a history that reflects the global circulation of Spanish coinage during this period.

The attribution of this counterstamp to Tunisia is based on the discovery of a hoard of approximately 1,000 cob coins of 4 Reales in a remote Tunisian village, three of which bear this type of counterstamp. This archaeological context strongly suggests Tunisia as the origin of these countermarks, adding significant historical value to this extraordinary piece. Est...7500,00.
