PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, 1828. Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details Gold Shield.
KM-25; Cal-1303. Issued by decree of October 13, 1828. Type I Manila overstrike, with serrated boarders and reverse legend; dies prepared by Don Benito de los Reyes. Overstruck on an 1826-CUZco GM 8 Reales from Peru (KM-142.2). Typical crude manufacture, with a somewhat flat and uneven strike, leaving little of the host coin's details remaining, though the assayer's letters are clear, and the final digit of the date offers just enough to discern.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
