PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-20; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6- Not listed; PNM#16-278; PNM#21-VIII-96; Cacho-IX-CS-086; Gil-5-4-3-III; DP-Zs06. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1828-Zs AO Mexico republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1825-42, normal date. A sneaky, VERY RARE host date. We have nearly 50 recorded examples of this mint. This early date seldom appears on the market with just two documented examples in our records, both the same crown variant. The countermark is partially obscured on the left half of the crown, but with the pertinent details for proper attribution. The host exhibits signs of a soft, uneven strike, most apparent along the obverse legend and corresponding weakness on the reverse. This wholesome crudely made issue is attractive and very original looking displaying rich patina with minor earthen deposits amongst the devices.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
