Chihuahua, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1816 RP, with T countermark only (lacking the crowned pomegranate and pillars as struck on a non-Chihuahua flan), very rare, NGC XF details / cleaned. Cal-1168; KM-111.1. Broad flan, richly toned over traces of luster, with some parts crude from striking over a previous 8 reales from another mint (HISPAN appears twice, for example, also there is a shadow of a larger bust of Ferdinand), curiously with three pomegranates for fleurs in center of shield, but the most important aspect is the bold T countermark to left NOT being paired with a crowned-pillars-and-pomegranate mark to right (first we have seen or heard of, not noted by NGC). NGC #2104167-001.
