PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC AU-50; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-A84; Basso-55; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-147; PNM#21-VI-123; 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 1826-CUZco G Peru Republic 8 Reales. Always in demand mint, the early dates (1826-29) are scarce to EXTRMELY RARE, especially in this high state of preservation. For this early type we have only eight examples documented bearing the F.7.0 countermark, all 5-4-1-C crown variety, for this date we have only the present piece recorded. The countermark is deeply impressed with bold details and hints of remaining luster in the protected areas. This highly attractive representative of the early type exhibits light signs of handling consistent for the grade with wear primarily confined to the high points and exposed fields. The surfaces are relatively smooth with trivial marks or abrasions as would be expected from its preservation, displaying lovely cabinet patina with plenty of underlying luster.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
