KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-150; PNM#16-Not listed; PNM#21-VIII-139; Cacho-IX-CS-084; Gil-5-4-1-I; DP-Mo14. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1834-Mo ML Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1824-47, normal date variety. One of the more available dates from this mint. We have six recorded examples with three different crown varieties. The countermark is bold, crisp and clear with the beginning signs of degradation offering interesting diagnostics for this punch. Upon closer inspection of the punch, several small cracks can be seen in the queen's cipher, adding a bit of character for the countermark variant. The host coin is nicely preserved with even wear and attractive rich pervasive patina lending to its originality and eye appeal.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
