Additional information

The 66 Shilling denomination was peculiar to the British Caribbean colonies in the late eighteenth century, its face value expressed in local shilling currency while the physical coin was simply a Spanish or Portuguese gold piece counterstamped for official colonial circulation. Grenada had been in British hands only since 1763, ceded by France under the Treaty of Paris, and its monetary supply remained a patchwork of whatever gold and silver happened to circulate across the Windward Islands.

The KM#3 type is extremely rare in any condition, with only a handful of confirmed examples known.
