Hi guys. I want to ask you about this type of mark. Could you say something about it? Who and when marked the coins? What does it mean? Thanks.

Sorry, i can't download another side of the second coin. Maybe later.

Peace.

    I have no information about the mark, but it reminds me of a scorpion.

    I thought it's kind of flower.

    Peace.

    Bump... interesting countermark, particularly being on two Lima 8R of the same vintage. They look "original" (not modern concoction). I feel like I've seen something similar but I'm not placing it.

    I see the 1726 example was sold by Soler y Llach (Spain) several years ago - they called it a fleur-de-lis. I would lean towards maybe a scorpion or some other insect as it's rather asymmetrical in shape. If it's supposed to be a flower or plant, it's really crudely executed but not impossible, I suppose.

    @Sergey74, what country/region of the world did the 1728 come out of?

    Hi, Realeswatcher. It was bought in Spain. If you mean it.

    Peace.
