8 Reales Type I Countermark

正面描述	Type I Costa Rican countermark consisting of a radiant six-pointed star punched within a plain incuse circle of approximately 7 mm diameter, applied over the host coin's obverse. The host coin is a Spanish colonial 8 Reales struck at the Mexico City Mint, bearing the right-facing draped and armored bust of King Carlos IV. The countermark is typically found in the field to the left or right of the royal effigy. A central round hole, characteristic of Costa Rican emergency monetary reform practice, pierces the coin. The host coin's obverse legend, partially preserved, reads CAROLUS IIII DEI GRATIA with the date 1808.
