| 背面描述 | Two counterstamps are present on the reverse of the cob host. The primary circular stamp depicts a tree dividing the denomination numeral within an inner circle, with the habilitación legend HABILITADA EN COSTA-RICA J.B. disposed around the outer circle, attributing the validation to Juan Barth acting for the Costa Rican monetary authority. A secondary rectangular counterstamp bearing the numeral 4 within a square border is also struck, confirming the denomination of 4 Reales. The irregular hammered cob surface is visible in the surrounding field. Together, these stamps authenticate and revalue the host coin for continued circulation within Costa Rica. |

Costa Rica's early republican coinage was plagued by a chronic shortage of domestically minted silver. Rather than strike new coins from scratch, the Casa Nacional de Moneda applied counterstamps to existing foreign silver — principally Central American federation issues and colonial maccuquinas — to authenticate and re-authorize them for local circulation. The Type IV counterstamp of 1846 represents one of several successive counterstamping campaigns, each driven by changing political authority and the need to distinguish legitimate circulating currency from unstamped or fraudulently marked pieces.
The specific host coin underneath matters considerably to collectors — provenance from a Guatemalan or Mexican colonial real adds a layer of numismatic complexity not reflected in catalog numbers alone.
