PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Guatemala. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-35; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-106.1; Basso-56; PNM#6-198; PNM#16-206; PNM#21-VIII-34; Cacho-IX-CS-009; Gil-5-4-1-II. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1825-NG M Guatemala (Central American Republic) 8 Reales. This popular host appears on the market occasionally with our records indicating more than 30 examples as a type bearing the Y.II. countermark. For this date bearing the 5-4-1-II crown variety we have only two recorded pieces (countermark applied to obverse[1], reverse[1]). The countermark is deeply impressed, though slight obscured by the original design on a nicely preserved and richly toned host. The surfaces exhibit moderate signs of handling consistent for the grade displaying rich slate patina with lighter coloration atop of the devices offering a somewhat handsome two-tone effect and hints of an iridescent blue sheen that complements this popular design.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $5000 - $7000
