Comments

Type IV Counter-mark has a stamp for each side of the coin; just like Type III, but Type IV were mounted so that they could be stamped at the same time in the exact opposite of the other, leaving no flattening on the opposite side, as the other stamp would be perfectly centered on the same hit:
-Obverse stamp: Sun above 3 volcanoes in a 6.5mm circle.
-Reverse stamps: Sun face in star, bow and arrow in 7mm circle.

Host coin: Peru 1839 KM#164
