This specimen was lot 71758 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2020), where it sold for $312. The catalog description[1] noted, "GUATEMALA. Guatemala - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (1840). NGC VF-25. "Sun over mountains" countermark on obverse. Host coin: Peruvian 1829-LM JM 8 Reales (KM-142). The host is quite well handled, though the countermark remains rather bold. Ex: Richard Stuart Collection." This is a foreign crown counterstamped in Guatemala in 1840. It is a 'Type III', meaning that the obverse stamp (three volcanos) and reverse stamp (five-pointed sun) were punched into the host separately, thus did not overlap. This particular method was used only in 1840. Foreign crowns were counterstamped from 1839-1841, during a time at which the Central American Republic was in a state of collapse and Guatemala was emerging as an independent entity. Neither the silver nor the minting capacity was available to locally produce large denomination silver coins until 1859. The host is a Peru 1829 8 reales, assayers JM.
Recorded mintage: unknown but the most common host.
Specifications: host coin 27.07 g, 0.903 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM-120.3.
