This specimen was lot 1084 in Sedwick Auction 37 (Winter Park, FL, May 2025), where it sold for $10,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Haiti|HAITI]] (under France), Le Cap, 1 escalin, anchor countermark (Type 1, 1781) on a trimmed/rounded Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1 real, Philip V, assayer not visible, very rare, NGC PO 1 (c/s VF strong). Bold full countermark near edge of host's obverse (part of shield visible, also some cross on other side), attractively toned, rather close to official weight of 2.355 grams (most are further trimmed), unlisted in KM with this host, also remarkable as the lowest possible "straight grade"!." A similar counterstamped half escalin (KM 7) also exists. The SCWC attributes this to 1701-52.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 2.35 g, 0.931 fine silver, this specimen 2.24 grams.
