Guatemala, 8 reales, TWO sun-over-mountains countermarks (Type II, 1839) on a Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1749q, very rare, ex-Richard Stuart. KM-99. 27.02 grams. One countermark (at very edge) choice and deeply impressed AU and the other shallow crude VF+ but both with clear die-breaks, the presence of two countermarks suspicious (or at least very rare) and unexplainable (but they appear to be genuine), host coin Fine+ with toned fields, bold date, no hole. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection.
