PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-25; C/S: XF Weak.
KM-129; Basso-56; PNM#6-128; PNM#16-282; PNM#21-VIII-99; Cacho-IX-CS-056; Gil-5-4-1-II; DP-Go10. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-Go MJ Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1829-30. The die style of 1829-30 was short lived and distinctly different in style than those of earlier dates or later dates. Though one of the more available host mints for this ruler some of the earlier dates do not appear as frequently. For this date we have just seven recorded examples with three different crown varieties (5-2-2[1], 5-3-1-I[1] and 5-4-3-III[5]). The countermark is strong, though slightly uneven, missing the last "I" in the queen's ordinal, on a handsome moderately worn host. The surfaces are smooth and glossy displaying attractive rich pervasive gray patina with areas of brighter coloration on the high points.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
