| Beschrijving voorzijde | Rectangular incuse countermark applied to the triangular silver piece, bearing the legend TORTOLA in bold, raised Latin capital letters across the field. The countermark is punched into the surface of the cut section, with the inscription reading left to right across the broader face of the triangular flan. The piece itself is one-eighth of a Spanish colonial 8 Reales, cut to produce a fractional denomination for local circulation in the British Virgin Islands. The irregular, roughly triangular shape retains the cut edges of the parent coin, and the silver surface shows the characteristic texture of a manually applied stamp. This Type II countermark is distinguished by its rectangular punch form enclosing the island name. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents the plain, unadorned silver surface of the triangular cut piece, being the obverse or reverse fragment of the original Spanish colonial 8 Reales host coin. The field is largely featureless, showing only the natural flow lines and wear of the parent coin's silver planchet, with faint residual design elements from the original coinage partially visible as shallow relief. Cut edges define the two straight sides of the triangular section, while the curved edge represents the original circumference of the 8 Reales. No additional countermark or inscription was applied to this face. The surface exhibits typical adjustment marks and scratches consistent with circulated cut coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
