GUATEMALA. Guatemala - Bolivia. 4 Reales, ND (1840). PCGS AU-53; Countermark: AU Details. KM-92; Jovel-Type V C/M. Type II Countermark; sun over mountains within circular border. Issued by decree of 31 October to 20 November 1840. Countermark applied to the obverse of an 1830-PTS JL Bolivia Republic 4 Soles. This seldom encountered denomination is one of the RAREST from the series and is highly coveted by collectors. The countermark is boldly applied with good definition on a nicely preserved host. The surfaces are smooth and display lovely mottled gray tone with richer coloration amongst the devices. Though not the finest known of the type, it certainly ranks amongst the finest and should be considered VERYRAREand desirable in this high state of preservation. Initially applied from 26 April 1839 through 20 November 1840 to cob coinage of good weight and purity. Then applied to Pesos Fuertes from May to 29 June 1840 and on the milled coins of 2, 4 and 8 Reales from Bolivia and Peru, before the Peru-Bolivian confederation, from 31 October to 20 November 1840. According to Jovel, the assayers erroneously countermarked the present example because of the lack of compliance with weight requirements. Estimate: $1,500 - $2,500.
