13.0 grams.
The reverse of this typically crude (mostly devoid of design) and mysterious coin shows the stamp "AP DE VA", which stands for Provincia de Valdivia (not "Ano primero de la Libertad Valdiviana", as previously thought, according to Carlos Jara in his work "Las Emisiones Provinciales de Valdivia: 1822-1844"), a mark that was specifically decreed on March 20, 1830, to be stamped on 1822 provisional issues, but most surviving examples like this one are unofficial, circulating, contemporary products (for a genuine specimen of the countermark, see the ex-Paul Karon example plated in Calico). Toned Good with old scratches, crude rims as made, slight evidence of original date 1822 and V(A) on obverse.
Pedigreed to the Gibbs collection (Schulman, March 18-19, 1966), lot #971.
