Mexico City, Mexico, cast silver 8 reales, Ferdinand VII transitional ("armored" bust), 1809 TH, with Morelos (Type A) countermarks on obverse and reverse, the former struck over Congress of Chilpanzingo (Type A) and script-LVS countermarks (1811-14), very rare, NGC XF details / scratches, c/s AU weak. KM-unl. Nicely toned and surprisingly well-detailed cast host with all four countermarks nearly full (first example we have ever seen with four countermarks in total), those on obverse apparently struck in the order of script-LVS, then Chilpanzingo, then Morelos, with second Morelos countermark on reverse, the stated scratches light and old, a true testament to its time and place in history. NGC #6068768-001.
