It is called simply the cross and dots countermark and was used right around the time of the revolution for independence. The coin of course is from Potosi, Bolivia. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   03-13-2009, 05:25 PM   #4 (permalink) Tiki Member     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Kailua, Hawaii Posts: 33 That is a beautiful coin!
