The chopmark on this Bolivian 8 Reales coin is generaly attributed to Sumatra by coindealers.
When asked, nobody was able so far to point to any article or book where to find this.
I have only been able to find that in the left upper quarter of a 1804 copper Keping token (Produced for Singapore merchands by the Birmingham mint) you can see exactly the same design.
A photo is not sharp enough to show this.
Has anyone more information about this chopmark ?
Thanks.

    Do you have a copy of Rose's book on chopmarks? I think I lost mine years ago, but that's where I'd start looking.

    Rose' booklet on chopmarks is nice reading material. (Very bad pictures by the way.)
    It is full of suggestions and presumptions, but no hard facts. Same as my story about the left upper quarter design, in the in the arms of an Island of Sultana (struck over Island of Sumatra) Keping.
    I look foreward to some real answers.
