Guatemala, 8 reales, Type IV counterstamp (1841) on a Potosi, Bolivia, 8 soles, 1840LR with 0 over sideways 0 (unlisted variety). 26.92 grams. Using the same marks as Type III, the Type IV counterstamp was applied in the same place on each side of the coin, this example being rather well detailed on a lustrous XF with gorgeous rainbow toning, the re-punched date clear but apparently unreported till now (the even stranger 1840 with 4 over inverted 4, on the other hand, is known).
