Obverse description Rectangular incuse counterstamp applied to the host coin's obverse, bearing the crowned and entwined script monogram 'SV' (for Saint Vincent) in raised relief within a sunken punch. The counterstamp occupies the central field and shows clear definition of the intertwined letters beneath a small crown. The surrounding field retains the irregular, worn surface of the underlying host coin planchet.
Obverse script Latin

Reverse description Reverse of the host coin, showing the obverse counterstamp's incuse impression bleeding through the planchet as a raised bump in the central field. A secondary circular counterstamp with a serrated or beaded border is visible, enclosing a small device, likely applied as an additional validation mark. The host coin's original reverse design is largely obliterated by wear and the mechanical distortion caused by the counterstamping process.
