6 Shillings 1 Penny - George III FERDIN VII DEI GRATIA, countermarked

British merchants in Honduras faced a chronic shortage of small currency throughout the early nineteenth century, and the colonial administration's solution was pragmatic to the point of improvisation: countermark existing Spanish colonial eight-reales with a crowned GR stamp, officially rating them at six shillings and one penny for local circulation. The host coins — struck in the name of Ferdinand VII, the deposed Spanish king held captive by Napoleon — were already politically awkward currency by the time they received their British punch.

KM#1.2 denotes the later countermark variety, distinguished from the earlier #1.1 by punch size and placement details documented by collectors of the series.
