| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala's 1894 counterstamp program was a direct response to the chaotic monetary situation created by the free coinage treaties of the 1870s and 1880s, which had allowed enormous quantities of foreign silver — particularly Salvadoran and Mexican pesos — to circulate alongside domestic issues without official sanction. The counterstamp brought these coins into formal circulation rather than forcing their removal, a practical compromise under a treasury that could not absorb the shock of demonetization.
KM#222 encompasses host coins of varying origin, which means the underlying piece matters considerably to specialists. A Guatemalan host commands a premium over a counterstamped Mexican 8 reales.
