PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-35; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-136; Basso-56; PNM#6-163; PNM#16-354; PNM#21-VIII-152; Cacho-IX-CS-022; Gil-5-4-1-II. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1823-LIMA JP Peru "Libre" 8 Reales; Short tassels variety. Here we have a nice companion piece for the previous lot. This RARE host appears on the market about as frequent as it's counterpart, the 1822, bearing either an F.7.0 or Y.II. countermark. When compared to the 1822 without the countermark it becomes clear that the 1823 is much scarcer. We have seven documented for this date with three different crown varieties (5-4-1-II[5], 5-4-2[1] and 5-4-3-III[1]). This lovely example exhibits a bold countermark with good definition of the details, though slightly uneven in its application, all the details are strong and clear. The host is unusually well struck for this type exhibiting bold devices with plenty of remaining detail and nice honest wear. The surfaces are smooth and beautifully toned displaying lovely old cabinet patina. This is an example where the grade does not necessarily reflect the quality. This example is choice for the grade and exhibits great eye appeal.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
