PHILIPPINES. Barrilla, 1743. Manila Mint. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, Fine Details Gold Shield.
cf. KM-Pn6; Basso-3a. Cast in lead. Small letters variety. Another EXTREMELY RARE early Philippines issue from a typically very crude series. AB monogram in center surrounded by "Ano De 1743" in obverse legend; Reverse: Crowned arms of Manila. A well worn and charming piece with areas of brightness on the obverse rims where the lead is shining through coupled with thick dark patination offering much originality. Seldom do examples from this series appear on the market, let alone multiple dates, which are always highly sought after. An opportunity to acquire an example of one of these early issues does not present itself often and should not be taken lightly.
With old collector's envelopes.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
