| Aanvullende informatie |
El Salvador had no mint of its own in the early 1860s and relied heavily on countermarking foreign silver to legitimize it for domestic circulation. This Type IV application — punched onto host coins already in use — reflects the government's repeated attempts to assert control over a currency supply it could not independently produce. The host coins are typically Guatemalan or South American republican reales of varying fineness, which made the .903 standard a statement of intent as much as a technical specification.
