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.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
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.
That’s pineapple, or one of those squat palm trees 😂
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
I don't know but guess it's not so original and there are many another stamps exist, are not? Who could do it and why? I know this practice only about Chinese coins but they most just checked up on metal.
Peace.
