MEXICO. Monclova. War of Independence. 8 Reales, 1812. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details; Countermark: EF Details. KM-202.3. "MVA/1812" Countermark on a cast silver 1809 Mo TH 8 Reales (KM-110). This clear and readable counterstamp was applied to an unusually well-produced host. While the surfaces have been cleaned, the piece displays a rather well-executed portrait of the monarch surrounded by strong legends. A highly appealing example of this Royalist countermark issue. Ex: Ponterio Sale 172 (11/2012), Lot # 1139.
