PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-35; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-143; PNM#16-318; PNM#21-VIII-129; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-3-III; DP-Ga11. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-Ga FS Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1825-45, normal date with coin axis. Another sneaky host date from this series. The present example is the only one that we have documented bearing a countermark of this monarch. The countermark is boldly applied with strong clear details on a nicely preserved host. Lovely light to medium gray tone graces the surfaces with richer coloration in the peripheries and protected areas adding to it pleasing appearance. Upon close inspection the obverse does exhibit a small planchet defect hardly worth mentioning, but done for the sake of accuracy.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
