Costa Rica, 1/2 real, "lion" countermark (Type VI, 1849-57) on a USA (Philadelphia mint), Capped Bust half dime, 1835, NGC Fine 12, c/s AU standard, unique. KM-unl. 1.20 grams. Choice bold countermark (very deep), toned all over, but the remarkable thing here is the host, as this is the only known example, United States coinage countermarked in Costa Rica being prohibitively rare, with few examples appearing on the market, none of which have been this combination of host and countermark. NGC #4703624-011.
