| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse displays the crowned royal arms of Spain within an ornamented shield, consisting of the quartered castles and lions of Castile and León, surmounted by a royal crown. A prominent Jamaican countermark — a crowned 'GR' (Georgius Rex) cypher — has been applied to the left portion of the central device, partially obscuring the host coin's field. The surrounding circular legend, rendered in raised Latin lettering with pellet stops, reads FERD • VI • D • G • HISP • ET • IND • R, identifying Fernando VI as King of Spain and the Indies. The coin's milled border is visible along the periphery. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Jamaica lacked a reliable small-change supply throughout much of the eighteenth century, and the colonial administration's solution was blunt: take Spanish colonial silver already circulating on the island, cut it, and counterstamp it into local currency. This particular piece began life at the Lima mint under Ferdinand VI of Spain before being officially sanctioned for Jamaican circulation by counterstamp in 1758. The host coin is a cut fraction of a Spanish colonial real, its origin betrayed by the Lima mint mark rather than the more common Mexico City issues that dominate this series.
