George III countermark
Great Britain. George III. Bank of England oval countermark with the face of George III for circulation of 5 shillings, made in 1797 on a 8 reales minted in 1793-IJ for Lima during the reign of Charles IV. (Cal-956 var). (Km-634). Ag. 26,63 g. Lovely and delicate cabinet tone. The countermark is deeply and sharply defined. Rare.
This counterstamp brought a latent discontent among the English people, given that one real of a 8 stamped was equivalent to a crown minus three pennies, namely 4 shillings and 9 pennies (1 crown = 5 shillings; 1 shilling = 12 pennies).
It generated some humorous phrases such as "The Bank (of England) in order to make its money pass, stamped the head of a fool on the neck of an ass". Choice VF/Almost XF. Est...900,00.

Honduras Británica - MS 62 ¡¡Top Pop!!
British Honduras. George III. Cursive GR countermark beneath crown, within an incuse oval. ND (1810-1818), for circulation as 6 shillings and 1 penny, applied to the obverse of an 1818-JJ 8 reales struck in Mexico under the reign of Ferdinand VII. (KM-M2). (Pridmore-2).
The countermark, alluding to loyalty to George III, is well above average for this issue, and the coin displays cabinet toning with underlying original luster and light bluish hues that enhance its excellent eye appeal.
According to the celebrated collector and author Fred Pridmore, all of the so-called British Honduras countermarks were applied by merchants to facilitate trade with the local indigenous tribes.
We are undoubtedly before a specimen that will attract the attention of numerous collectors. Very rare, especially in this grade.

The revolt was precipitated by the reforms introduced by Joseph II in the 1780s, which were perceived as anti-Catholic. The design chosen for this issue is of particular interest, as the obverse bears a striking resemblance to the Calvinist issues struck in Zurich around the same period. An important Crown-size issue in Belgian numismatic history. Almost MS. Est...3000,00.
