(1815-1818) Dutch Three Reaal (18 Stuivers) on a Fifth-Cut 8 Reales, XF40 NGC. 4.9 grams. A fifth and final representative of this interesting Dutch countermark. With five examples in the Eric P. Newman Collection, it seems certain Eric acquired these pieces to demonstrate how the fifth-cut process was done on a host 8 reales. Viewed together, the individual segments do a remarkable job of illustrating the process. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

(1815-1818) Dutch Three Reaal (18 Stuivers) on a Fifth-Cut 8 Reales, XF45 NGC. 5.3 grams.

(1815-1818) Dutch Three Reaal (18 Stuivers) on a Fifth-Cut 8 Reales, XF45 NGC. 5.8 grams. A third example of the numeric 3 countermark. The host coin is well defined surrounding the circular imprint, and is readily identified as a Mexico Mint 8 reales.

(1815-1818) Dutch Three Reaal (18 Stuivers) on a Fifth-Cut 8 Reales, AU50 NGC. 5.7 grams. A second example of this circular countermark. While British occupation of Curacao and surrounding islands lasted from 1807 to 1815, it is likely these cut pieces were issued by the Dutch shortly thereafter. Ex: Eric P.

(1815-1818) Dutch Three Reaal (18 Stuivers) on a Fifth-Cut 8 Reales, XF40 NGC. Issued by the Dutch Authority shortly after English occupation of Curacao. Spanish-American 8 reales were segmented into five pie-shaped pieces and countermarked with the numeral 3 in a dentilated circle to pass as 3 reales. Crenated edges are normal for these cut pieces. This example is particularly well struck, both on the host coin and the counterstamp. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15614 (realized $576).
