PHILIPPINES. 80 Reaux Pattern, 1859. NGC PROOF-64 BN.
KM-Pn16; Basso-81. Legend translates to "Paris Pattern, Coining Press of the Philippine Islands." Struck in limited quantities to test the mint machinery that would later be installed at the Manila Mint. Semi glossy sheen with aquamarine light blue coloration. A razor sharp strike that convincingly suggests the minting equipment passed the test with flying colors. NGC PROOF-64 BN.
Estimate: $1600.00- $2000.00
