(1795-1811) Montserrat countermark. Vlack 405 type, but UNLISTED on a blank copper planchet. Rarity-8 as such. A large M in a circular indent, strongly impressed on one side, leaving a partial incuse impression on the opposite side. Light brown with some minor encrustation at the mark and incuse portion, and just the expected light marks from circulation. The 1765 Stampees offered earlier went from being overstruck on earlier Sous Marques to being done on blank planchets, and that could certainly have been the case for these issues as well when the limited supply of earlier coins was exhausted. While not unexpected, it is certainly unlisted, and is the only example we are aware of on a blank planchet! Another treasure from the Edward Roehrs collection.
