Comments

(en) Plugged Peru 8 escudos KM#38.2

Jamaica adopted Spanish gold currency standard with a weight rating of 26.96 grams for 8 escudos, and impose penalties of 3 pence per grain for the circulations of underweight cold coinage. Some underweight cobs were privately plugged to attain full weight and countermarked with a crocodile above initials GC. It is suspected this was done by George Clinton an area goldsmith.
