| Obverse description | Rectangular incuse countermark applied to the host coin, bearing the legend NEVIS in raised Latin letters within a dentilated border, with the numeral 9 stamped below in the field. The countermark is deeply impressed into the surface of what appears to be a Spanish colonial cob (macuquina) coinage, showing the characteristic cross and castle design of the host piece beneath the overstamp. The irregular, roughly circular flan displays the typical uneven edges of a hand-struck cob coin, with surface patina and verdigris deposits consistent with age. Diagonal scratch lines are visible across the field, likely serving as cancellation or validation marks applied by colonial authorities. |
