I have an 8 reale cob of Mexico, dates around 1556-1700, with a small square incuse counterstamp and within the square is either an "x" or a small cross. Anyone know if this is a known counterstamp/countermark?

I can't help but wonder if it's this one

mmmmm somewhat in the ballpark, but on mine the square i is smaller, there are no "I" letters, and mine skews more to a cross than an "X"
