GUADELOUPE. Guadeloupe - Mexico. 9 Livres (9 Shillings), ND (1811). George III. NGC VF-20.
KM-25; Prid-2; EL-G1; Gad-30; VG-1041. Issued by proclamation of 9 May 1811. Countermark: Raised crowned "G" within shaped indent applied to obverse at 5 o'clock and reverse at 1 o'clock, the central plug removed from the reverse by four individual cuts with crenellated edges. Applied to a 1804-Mo TH Mexico bust 8 Reales of Charles IIII (IV) (KM-109). This wholly original and handsome looking example displays lovely old cabinet patina on a nicely preserved host. The countermarks are deep and offer a interesting diagnostic crack, though slightly unevenly applied. A charming survivor with an excellent provenance that is sure to see spirited bidding from many collectors.
