Re-posting this PCGS forums. I have never seen this counterstamp before. The crude design and shape of the crown reminds me of the Philippines counterstamps of Ferdinand VII an Isabella II, but it's obviously not that. Also something that looks like an upside-down roman-style hand axe next to the crown, as well. Appears to be struck on a worn Republic 2 Reales.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Is this official or private?

The original poster updated with information that the host date appears to be 1842.

Kind of crude to be a post-1842 countermark, no? The axe next to the crown seems kind of "fanciful" for an official issuing entity, also... Maybe some kind of private mark, hallmark, or? Note there's also a "T" on there randomly, which if related to the crown mark would probably eliminate that as an "official" valuation stamp of some kind.
