John Conduitt Posted April 27 · Supporter Share Posted April 27 Another countermark George III Emergency Issue Half Dollar, 1797 Madrid (countermark London). Silver, 32mm, 13.01g. Charles IIII four reales, 1791MF, with 1797 George III oval countermark; countermark with TOL in script, A, M, incuse and C W raised in rectangular indent (S 3767). In 1797, a failed French invasion in Wales caused panic. Gold and silver coins were hoarded and the Royal Mint couldn't produce enough replacements. The Gold Standard was suspended and the Bank of England issued foreign silver coins, usually Spanish Colonial, with a bust of George III within an oval (1797) or octagonal (1804) frame (“the head of a fool on the neck of an ass”). Countermarked 8 reales circulated at 4 shillings 9 pence in 1797 and 5 shillings in 1804. In 1804, the countermark was replaced by a 5 shilling overstrike by Matthew Boulton. Coins outside these years, and non-Spanish coins, were later countermarked for collectors. Some coins were countermarked by forgers or by local assay offices, who had the same punch for stamping silver and collecting taxes. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
