- GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - Peru. 1/2 Bit, ND (ca. 1770-72). George III. PCGS EF-40. KM-16 (Martinique); Prid-20 (Dominica). Countermark: Type IV bifacial; blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges on both sides. Applied to a 1756-LIMA JM Peru Pillar 1/2 Real of Ferdinand VI (KM-51). A SCARCE and exceptionally appealing colonial type, this series was originally given to Martinique in the literature--where it still appears in KM--but is now believed to be from Gibraltar instead. The host--incorrectly identified on the holder as Mexico rather than Peru--offers deep cabinet toning with clear details still observed throughout. Estimate: $1,000 - $1,500. Provenance: Ex: Jeroen de Wilde Collection. Ex: Isaac Rudman Collection. Ex: R. C. Gordon Collection. Ex: R. J. Ford Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
