Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, 1725D, very rare, with Indonesian countermark (date AH1230 = 1814-15), ex-Pullin collection. S-M23; KM-49; CT-18. 25.84 grams. Bold 25 of date, full oMD, nearly full crown, otherwise mostly flat (VG for actual wear), lightly toned, with what appears to be a test-mark (old gouge in the center of the cross that breaches the other side) in addition to a scratched X along with the incuse Arabic-date countermark, commonly attributed to Sumenep (Madura Island) in Indonesia, possibly lightly shaved in its time, a fascinating coin with importance in several areas. Pedigreed to the John Pullin collection and our Auctions #7 (lot 809) and #11 (lot 651).
