PHILIPPINES. Philippines- Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF-30; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-74; Basso-55; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-110; PNM#21-VI-80; Cacho-VIII-CS-043; Gil-5-4-1-C; DP-Ga06. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1830(3/2)-Ga FS Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1825-45. As a year this is one of the more available issues in various conditions with our records indicating 22 examples (Assayer FS[17] and Assayer LP[5]) all bearing the same F.7.0 countermark, Gil-5-4-1-C crown variety. Though the countermark is deeply impressed on an attractive host, it is slightly uneven with a small area of the king's ordinal somewhat obscured. The surfaces display a lovely dove gray patina with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices and crevasses. The minor earthen deposits in some of the protected areas add character to its pleasing appearance. A wholesome and attractive representative that tells and interesting story.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
