PHILIPPINES. Cast Lead Barilla, 1743. Philip V (1700-46). CHOICE VERY FINE.
5.04 gms. Basso-3a; cf.KM-Pn5. RARE. AB monogram in center surrounded by "Ano De 1743" in obverse legend, with normal (not inverted) 7 in date; Reverse: Crowned shield of arms. An extraordinarily well preserved example of this crudely struck issue that is instantly identifiable for type. Well made with even dark overall color, and a few minor deposits within the devices. A seldom offered type in any condition, at this level the coin is nothing short of "highly prized". CHOICE VERY FINE.
Estimate: $1400.00- $1800.00
