| Description |
(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.
