PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF-25; C/S: XF Weak.
KM-74; Basso-55; PNM#6-43; PNM#16-107; PNM#21-VI-76; Cacho-VIII-CS-039; Gil-5-4-1-C; DP-Do06. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-Do RL Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die Style of 1827-29. Another 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. An attractive example of the type with honest wear, smooth surfaces and exhibits rich mottled gray patina. Although the countermark is deeply impressed, it was slightly unevenly applied with aspects of the king's cipher missing. A handsome example of the type with a good look.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $400 - $600
