    This is a Guatemala eight reales. The G mintmark is just visible to the right of the date. It has a counter mark which is also Guatemala. The countermark may have been added in 1838 or 1839. Very cool piece.
  • Thanks image Pulled out my Krause and found the Guatemalan section.. then had to get the 1800-1900 book out because of the time frame in which it was counterstamped..... Haven't nailed it down 100% yet, but learned a little history and had a lot of fun !!!!!!!!
