BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. Tortola. Black Dog (1-1/2 Pence), ND (1792-1811). George III. PCGS VF-25. KM-11; Prid-19C. Countermark on a 2 Sous from French Guiana (Cayenne). A bold, clear countermark is rendered well despite its crudeness. This small denomination would have served an important role in commerce as change, but despite modest wear, this example was spared the intense circulation encountered on other survivors. Original chocolate brown surfaces present substantial detail from the host and are a pleasure to examine in hand. Sure to interest Caribbean specialists who have yet to add an example to their sets.
