Hey everyone, I've got another coin here for you experts to help me out with. I know what two of the countermarks are (I think, I'm no way an expert on marks) but the one in the middle is what I'm having trouble with. It almost looks like a George III countermark that you usually see on 8 reales. It looks like the octagon variety to me.
Coin is 28.7 mm at thickest diameter and weighs 4.5 grams.
Please someone help with with this one! I'd really like to know what I've got on my hands.
As always, thanks for looking.

So not even one idea as to what it may be?

Not even one for me...although this thread might have better luck in the world coins area since there are a few folks who hang out there with expertise in Spanish coins (e.g. swamperbob). Consider petitioning the mods to have it moved over there.

Also, since you have some knowledge about the other countermarks, consider posting that information as it may attract the attention of someone who can help you with the one CM with which you are struggling.
