PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, 1828. Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Cleaned.
KM-24; Basso-52; PNM#6-14; PNM#16-27; PNM#21-I-18; Cacho-I-CS-013. Type I Manila Overstrike, with serrated boarders and reverse legend. Overstruck on a 1827-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. Perhaps the most encountered host date, we have more than 40 examples recorded of the 1827-LIMA JM as a host coin for this issue. The strike is nice and fairly even for this issue with a bold four-digit date fully struck up and "MANILA" nearly so with remnants of the serrated boarder between 8 and 11 atop of the devices. The arms of Spain, save for a small portion on the lower right side of the shield, is strong and exhibits well-formed devices; a small section of the legend "ADO PO" to the left of the shield is struck up and clear. This richly toned survivor offers lots of character with much of the original host design and legends easily visible and the pertinent information such as the bold four-digit date, assayer's letters and denomination are unobscured. Upon close inspection evidence of a past cleaning is noticed as indicated on the NGC insert, but is now mostly subdued by attractive rich mottled light gray to slate patina with a golden sheen in the open areas and blue sheen in some of the protected areas.
