PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Obverse Graffiti; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-74; Basso-55; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-104; PNM#21-VI-73; Cacho-VIII-CS-037; Gil-5-4-1-C; DP-Do05. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1828-Do RL Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1827-29. A VERY RARE and popular host mint with very few examples that bear the F.7.0 countermark of which we have only eight examples documented. As a date we have only two recorded for all F.7.0 countermark variants. This wholesome example displays lovely rich slate gray patina with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light offering much originality. Unfortunately, somewhere during its travels someone had scratched the obverse in the form of a small thin "X", as indicated on the NGC insert as "Obverse Garffiti". Despite its shortcomings this richly toned survivor exhibits good eye appeal with nice honest wear and smooth surfaces.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $400
