NEW SOUTH WALES, five shillings or holey dollar 1813, struck from a Charles IIII Mexico City Mint eight reales of 1805 (Mira-Noble 1805/9, dies I/4 - A/4). A strongly struck countermark and the coin very dished, a striking example of a hole dollar toned, very fine or better and rare.
Ex S. Lipscombe, Dr P.H. Bullock, C.E. Pitchfork and S. Kemp Collections and SPink Australia Sales 5 (lot 926) and 13 (lot 965). The blurred appearance of the matrix could have been caused by overheating just prior to counterstamping the coin.
