PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Colombia. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC AU-53; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-109; Basso-56; PNM#6-217; PNM#16-199; PNM#21-VIII-28; Cacho-IX-CS-006; Gil-5-4-3-III. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1835-Ba RS Colombia Republic 8 Reales. Another ever-popular host type, this issue appears on the market with some frequency and can be obtained in various states of preservation. For this date we have more than 50 pieces documented. Mostly appearing in very fine to extremely fine conditions higher grade survivors, such as the present piece, seldom appear in the market. The countermark is somewhat unevenly applied with a couple of areas of weakness in the crown on a high-grade host coin. The attractively toned surfaces show light signs of handling consistent for the grade with underlying luster in the protected areas.

From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.

Estimate: $3000 - $4000
