PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, 1828. Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Cleaned.
KM-24; Basso-52; PNM#6-12; PNM#16-24; PNM#21-I-15; Cacho-I-CS-011. Type I Manila Overstrike, with serrated boarders and reverse legend. Overstruck on a 1826-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. A somewhat more available host under-type, for this date (1826-LIMA JM) we have only 11 examples recorded. The strike is strong with bold four-digit date and "MANILA" fully struck up with minor remnants of the serrated boarder to the left of the central design, though slightly unevenly struck with much of the original host design elements such as the mint mark, denomination and assayer's letters being clear. The arms of Spain are nicely detailed and clear with only minor portions of the shields bottom frame missing. A small section of the legend on the left side "LITADO" is mostly clear with other faint remnants around. Evidence of being cleaned long ago as indicated on the NGC insert, now attractively toned displaying light smokey gray patination with areas of slate in the protected areas. A handsome and wholesome looking example with a good amount of the under-type visible and nicely detailed overstrike.
