PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Bolivia. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC FINE-15; C/S: XF Strong.
KM-51; Basso-55; PNM#6-81; PNM#16-45; PNM#21-VI-17; Cacho-VIII-CS-059; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-PTS LM Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. A relatively common host and for this date is one of the more available. We have 13 examples recorded (5-4-1-C [10] and 5-4-!(2)-B [3]) for all F.7.0 crown variations. This well-worn survivor exhibits even wear on the high points with minor marks and abrasions one would expect from the designated grade. A couple of unobtrusive planchet laminations become apparent in the lower right quadrant of the obverse. This example displays light gray tone atop of the devices with a complementary medium gray in the open fields and protected areas with minor debris amongst the devices.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
