PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Jagua, Ciales, Hacienda de Café Maria Teresa, brass 25 centavos hacienda token, 1890, with CAS-U countermark, extremely rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-388a; Fumero-83. 9.25 grams. AU details with dark copper patination on olive-brass surfaces, the denomination side showing countermark of CAS and U (separate). As noted by Archilla-Diez (p. 152), this countermark applied in 1890 is a distinctive feature, very seldom encountered in the market. Otherwise this is typical for the private coffee-estate tokens of Puerto Rico in the late 19th century, struck in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with collector's tag 102.
