1 Real Type VII Countermark

Aversbeschreibung	Costa Rican Type VII countermark applied within a small incuse circle of approximately 5 mm diameter, depicting a standing lion in relief encircled by the Latin legend 'HABILITADA POR EL GOBIERNO', indicating official government authorization. The countermark is struck onto the host coin's field, partially obscuring the underlying design. The punch impression is characteristic of the emergency coinage series issued by the Costa Rican government to validate foreign silver coinage for domestic circulation.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse displays the residual design of the host coin, identifiable from the image as a British sixpence or shilling of the George IV era, bearing the crowned quartered royal arms of Great Britain within a garter, with partial legend fragments visible around the periphery including the date 1824 and portions of the Latin royal titulature. The original design is heavily worn and partially effaced as a result of the countermarking process and subsequent circulation, with dentilation visible along the coin's rim.
