El Salvador, 1/2 real, zigzag test mark (Type II, 1834-35) on obverse of Lima, Peru, 1/2 real, 1832 MM, extremely rare, PCGS G details / damage, finest and only example in PCGS census. KM-unl (host 144.1). To the best of our knowledge, this is a discovery coin, uncataloged and unreported, as the first zigzag mark seen on a 1/2 real of any kind, with toning around details and lots of wear and small marks per the grade, but the zigzag very clear and well defined, an important coin for the El Salvador or countermark specialist.
