KM-374.3 2r 1847 C CE – repunched “7”

Just like varieties with repunched letters, repunched digits are also a very common attribute seen on Republic coinage. In fact, repunched digits in the date are arguably the most common variety attribute found in the Mexico Republic series of coins. Not only will you find overdates (i.e. 1848/7), but repunched digits (i.e. 1847/7). In this example, there is a very clear repunch of the “7” digit in the date. If you look closely at the digit, it appears that there may be a normal “7” digit punched over a smaller “7” punch or something else altogether.

Four reales
