Cuba. 1 peso. 1898. (Km-A8). (Elizondo-4). Ag. 22,56 g. Mintage of 1,000 specimens. Final year of issue, with iridescent toning and some contact marks, yet still highly desirable as a historic emblem of the Cuban struggle for independence. During the final years of the Cuban War of Independence, the “Souvenir Pesos” were not minted for circulation, but as commemorative pieces of the ongoing conflict against Spanish rule. Their issuance also served as a form of financial support for the cause, as they were sold to raise funds for the Cuban insurgent forces. Almost MS. Est...4000,00.

El Salvador. 1 real. ND (1868). (Cal-616 var). (Restrepo-M70-1 var). Ag. 2,48 g. El Salvador Arms countermark, type V, within a circular border. Issued under the decree of September 28, 1868, on a very rare 1 real coin of 1721 with assayer A (Buenaventura de Arce), struck in Santa Fe de Bogotá (New Kingdom of Granada) during the reign of Philip V. This is an extremely rare specimen and, to date, the only known example of this series with an El Salvador countermark.

Slabbed by PCGS as Genuine VG Details, Damage. C/M on Col. Real – F Details.

In the last 30 years, we have only found one example of this date offered at auction, in addition to the piece housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, United Kingdom.


On the obverse, the shield consists of lions and castles, with the assayer (A) to the left and the value I tilted to the right. On the reverse, PLV/SVL/NoR between the pillars, with F to the left and S to the right. The full four-digit date appears in the legend. Light toning and the typical perforation seen in these issues.


This coin is particularly important not only because of the countermark but also because it represents one of the earliest silver issues after the creation of the Viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada in 1717, which lasted until 1723 and was re-established in 1739. Its design is similar to the example in the Fitzwilliam Museum, referenced in the specialized catalog of Colombian coins by Jorge Emilio Restrepo.


Examples of this design are known in denominations of 1, 2, 4, and 8 reales, although Buenaventura de Arce’s silver issues are far scarcer than his gold coins. Est...5000,00.

Great Britain. George III (1760-1820). Bank of England oval counterstamp with the face of George III for circulation of 1/2 dollar, made in 1797 on a 4 reales minted in 1792 for Madrid during the reign of Charles IV. (S-3767). Ag. 13,87 g. Nice old cabinet tone. 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).

Sicily was annexed by the Roman Republic in the late 3rd century BC, following intense conflicts in which mercenaries played a key role. During the Second Punic War, their recruitment was essential in defending cities against Rome. Syracuse, the last city to fall, was betrayed by a group of Hispanic mercenaries led by Moericus, who secretly negotiated with Consul Marcus Claudius Marcellus to facilitate the entry of Roman troops.
As a reward, Rome granted them control of Morgantina (Murgentia), in the island’s interior, where they received land and the authority to mint bronze coins for local transactions. These issues, known as the Hispanorum series, include the first written reference to Hispania and its population. Their significance lies in this historical uniqueness rather than in their artistic quality. VF. Est...500,00.
