PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-30; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-138.1; Basso-56; PNM#6-165; PNM#16-359; PNM#21-VIII-155; Cacho-IX-CS-023; Gil-5-4-3-III. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1826-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. The early dates of Lima and Cuzco appear on the market with much less frequency than the later dates and are much more desirable, especially so in higher states of preservation. We have six recorded examples of this date with four different crown varieties (5-3-1-I[1], 5-3-2-IV[1], 5-4-1-II[2] and 5-4-3-III[2]). The countermark is boldly applied, though a small portion of the crown on the left side is a bit obscured. A beautifully preserved host coin, the surfaces are smooth with nice even wear are gorgeous patina.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $600 - $800
