Martinique, 2 bits, heart-shaped center-cut hole (1761) in a Madrid, Spain, milled 2 reales "pistareen," 1721, host coin holed, encapsulated NCS "G details" (misattributed to Dominica in slab). KM-3. Bold date and king's name despite ample wear, nicely toned, holed at top, valuable and popular with Caribbean collectors.

(UPDATE: The latest research on this heart-shaped hole indicates that it was done in or prior to 1748 in Gibraltar, not Martinique.)
