Context
Santo Domingo non-dated (1542-1556) 4 Maravedi devaluated to 2 Maravedi (1577) and revalidated with a 'key' counterstamp. In 1577 due to the monetary crisis in 'La Hispaniola', the 4 Maravedi minted for circulation in Santo Domingo between 1542 and 1556 during the reign of Carlos I and Joanna I, were recalled and counterstamped with a 'key' mark, devaluing them to 2 Maravedi.
