The series started with the small counter mark in 1797. The Spink guide says that they were issued for a short while, but others imply that they were issued after 1804 when the Soho Mint overstruck Spanish Dollars to make the British dollars which had a value of 5 shillings.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454175[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is my understanding that the large counter mark pieces were issued in 1804.
