Kavel 7554

AR 8 real 1798, Carolus IIII, Mexico mint (KM.109), 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). (ZENO 330073) 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. Interesting and rare. Host coin VF, c/m’s XF
