Not sure if I should post this here or in the world section, but below are some images of a 1794 regal 4 reale with a Bank of England oval countermark.

According to H.E. Manville's 2000 article "The Bank of England Countermarked Dollars 1797-1804", published in the Journal of the British Numismatic Society, these marks are normally found on 8 reale pieces, but in 1799 the BOE marked a delivery of 4 reales from Madrid and Seville. I have started collected these countermarks on 8 reales, and this is my first 4 reale. I would love to know if anyone else has a similar 4 reale piece. I would also love to know if there are any more recent or more comprehensive articles on these pieces. Thanks!

Nice looking coin. I love the Spanish silver of this era.

Hey Eastrock, there's this catalogue regarding these types of countermarks..


Beware, I heard that there is some controversy surrounding this catalogue though about them being fakes, so please look a little further into it!
