It appears to be the Coat of Arms of the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.

For the curious, a post was made of another chopmarked piece, a 1904-S Philippine Peso, bearing this mark as well (https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=116044). It seems likely to be a modern fabrication.
