| Obverse description | Circular counterstamp applied to the obverse of a hammered cob flan, depicting a radiant sun rising above a range of mountains within an inner circle. The surrounding outer legend reads REPUB. DE CENT. DE AMER. with the date 1846, referencing the Central American Republic. The design elements reflect the republican iconography common to Central American issues of the early 19th century. The counterstamp is crisply applied relative to the irregular cob host, which retains traces of its original hammered surface in the field. |
