I have been trying to find this countermark for awhile and finally took some pictures of it. I took it to a few specialized Mexican coinage dealers at the Long Beach Expo and none had a clue. Hoping someone might know a little about this. The centavo is very worn and has no discernible date. The countermark has 2 arrows crossed over a five pointed star, almost like an asterisk.

Really cool countermark! Have no idea on the origin of it though.

The only thing that popped into mind is Sweden used to use crossed arrows on their coins.

I did look into Swedish coins and some have the crossed arrows, but not the star. I guess it could be a local vendor, fraternal organization, or something along those lines.
