Discovery Piece - Unlisted Jamaican Counterstamped 1/2 Pistole

British Colony. George II gold Counterstamped 1/2 Pistole (12 Shilling 6 Pence) ND (1758) VF30 NGC, KM-Unl, Fr-1 (Unknown), Prid-Unl., Gordon-Unl. 3.25gm. Floriate "GR" within circular indent Counterstamp (AU Strong) on Colombia Escudo 1758 PN-J. A momentous occasion - not only the first time our firm has offered this counterstamped 1/2 Pistole type, but the first time this denomination has been offered at public auction in recent memory. Unlisted completely or listed as "Unknown" in the major references, this type has flown under the radar despite such high demand for this Jamaican counterstamped series. Unlike the higher denomination examples, this piece only bears the GR mark on the obverse, perhaps due to the thinness of the flan. The coin offers a pale gold appeal and extremely good detail to the stamp. This opportunity cannot go unnoticed amongst West Indies enthusiasts.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 19.5mm
