 UNCERTAIN LOCALE. H. HARDY narrow rectangular countermark on Carlos IIII 8 Reales, 1804 Mo. TH. Graffiti in r. obverse field, a crude 'X' is scratched over the King's eye. No H. Hardy is listed by Manville or Coincraft in their coverage of English or Scottish Napoleonic era countermarked 8 Reales nor by Brunk in any U.S. connection, making this high quality piece an excellent subject for in-depth research. Very Fine. (Est. $100-$200)
