<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3355509, member: 8959&quot;]Another counterstamp related to Latin America - this one a Chilean Volcano peso dated 1834, counterstamped in the Philippines which was then a Spanish Colony.</p><p>Interestingly, almost all of the 1834 Volcano Pesos that exist bear a C/S. </p><p>This date without the C/S is extremely rare.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I assume that shortage of coinage in the Philippines led to counterstamping of Latin American crowns for use locally. The Spanish Crown counterstamp of the Philippines is also known on Peruvian as well as other crowns.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]888518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]888519[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
