MEXICO. Chilpanzingo and Morelos. War of Independence. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1811-14). PCGS Genuine--Tooled, VF Details; Countermark: AU Details. KM-285.2. Morelos (Type A) and Congress of Chilpanzingo (Type A) countermarks on cast 1810 Mo HJ 8 Reales (KM-110). This intriguing type features a bold Morelos countermark applied partially over a weaker Chilpanzingo countermark. The cast host coin is extremely crude, as is typical, and tooled on the reverse. A charming example, sure to excite specialists and collectors of this tumultuous but fascinating period of Mexican numismatics. Ex: Superior Stamp & Coin (12/1998).
