PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-20; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-Not listed; PNM#21-Not listed; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-1-II. Type VI countermark crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermarks applied to obverse of the perforation on a 1832-LIMA MM Peru Republic 8 Reales. The perforated variants with countermarks over only one side of the hole are far less encountered than their counterparts that shows both sides have been countermarked. Of the nearly 70 documented examples of countermarked holes, only six of them display a single countermark over the perforation for all dates and types of host coins. These issues, with the single punch over the hole are all EXTREMELY RARE and seldom appear on the market usually with decades between citing's. The countermark is bold with easily identifiable characteristics making the crown variant attributable. The host is pleasing with nice host wear and lovely mottled gray patina with areas of richer coloration. This attractive example displays good eye appeal with a nicely preserved host.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
