Lot 7491

AR 8 Reales 1819, Mexico mint (KM111), with a c/m in the shape of a “star like ornament” as also found on doits found in Jaffna (Scho.1257A; v.d. Wis G 23A). The usual attribution to Sumanep must be regarded as incorrect as the provenance of this and other coins with similar c/m’s is Sintang district in West Kalimantan / West Borneo and should therefore be attributed to the Sintang Sultanate. aXF
