PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Chopmarked; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-63; Basso-55; PNM#6-34; PNM#16-86; PNM#21-VI-57; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1806-Mo TH Mexico bust 8 Reales of Charles IIII (IV). One of the more available bust types from this mint we have recorded 33 examples for all F.7.0 crown variations, for this date we only have four recorded. Though the countermark is deeply impressed with good definition of the fine details, some of the design elements are somewhat obscured by several chopmarks. This moderately worn example displays attractive mottled gray tone with richer coloration in the protected areas and crevasses adding to its pleasing appearance. As indicated on the NGC insert, both sides display numerous small chopmarks with a few larger chops on the obverse indicating prolonged circulation over a wide geographic area. Though numerous chopmarks appear on both sides, the surfaces are relatively smooth and are quite pleasing.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
