Obverse description Triangular-shaped piece cut from one-sixth of a Spanish Colonial 8 Reales host coin. Three rectangular punched countermarks are applied along the flat upper edge of the triangular flan: at left, the letters 'TR' within a recessed rectangular frame; at center, a stylized 'G' or partial letter within a similar punch; and at right, the numeral '2' within a square cartouche. Remnants of the original host coin's design are visible in the field below the countermarks, including what appears to be a partial castle or architectural device, consistent with the reverse of a Spanish Colonial 8 Reales. A circular 'G' countermark is additionally struck near the lower apex of the triangular piece.
