Madura Island (Sumenep), Indonesia, 1 real batu (ca. 1814), "Sumenep" in Malay Arabic incuse countermark, plus two large chopmarks and an incuse cross-and-four dots countermark (Malacca / Malaysia / southeast Asia?), all on cross side of a Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, 1714 J, very rare, NGC VF details / graffiti, c/s XF strong. Host: S-M22; KM-47; Cal-1401. 26.13 grams. This fascinating coin wears its travels on its face, with four full and clear marks on the cross side, including the well-known incuse for Sumenep and the lesser-known incuse believed to be for Malacca, but also a tulip-like chopmark and another chop that is in fact a very clear lion facing right (!), also some associated script graffiti on the other side, but the host itself also important as showing a full 171 of the date (the last digit not really visible at all, despite what the tag says) and oMJ, much flatness but nicely toned. NGC #5745601-002.
