Provenance: DNW Auction 93, 26 September 2011, lot 1773 [from M.L. Teller March 1991]
Given the simple appearance of the stamp, an early date of issue in the 1790s might be surmised [Manville p.98].
At least two other examples of this countermark are known: British Museum, on a Lima 8 Reales, 1790, with a provenance back to Cokayne, 1946, and whereabouts currently unknown, on a Mexico City 8 Reales, 1793, with a provenance back to Peltzer, 1927).
