Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, copper 4 maravedís, Charles-Joanna, assayer not visible (F or oF), with backwards S countermark for Jamaica (1/11 real, 1581-82), very rare. S-SD1. 3.0 grams. Very bold countermark but little else (corroded and weak), but the countermark is the most interesting part, as it is linked to a sordid episode in which the governor of imported coins from Santo Domingo that cost him 1/25 real each yet he distributed at 1/11 real each!
