I'm wondering if anyone has any info on the countermark(s) on this crown that's at my LCS. Sorry about the not-so-good cell phone pics, but that's all I was able to get. It looks like "ore" perhaps with something before those letters, but not certain - plus a "TO" or something scratched or engraved over that mark. The other side has a stamp too, but it's lighter or more worn. Any info on this interesting coin would be hugely appreciated.

It kind of looks to me like "CORK" on obverse, & "G.F." on reverse, but I don't find such a merchant counterstamp in Brunk's (admittedly incomplete) list.

It does look like it could be Cork. So, nothing in Brunk? Thanks for looking, publius.
