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.
