PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1932-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Test Cut; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-A84; Basso-55; PNM#6-65; PNM#16-Not listed; PNM#21-VI-116; Cacho-VIII-CS-010; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1829-CUZco G Peru Republic 8 Reales. A SCARCE and popular mint. This date shows up from time to time. We have more than 30 examples for all dates of this mint, but only four recorded examples of this date, all bearing the F.7.0 5-4-1-C crown variety. The countermark is bold with good definition of the fine details on a moderately worn host displaying dove gray in the open areas with brighter coloration atop of the devices while the protected areas and crevasses exhibit a richer patination; minor earthen deposits are noticed amongst the devices adding to its originality. Unfortunately, the edge at 6:00 on the obverse was tested leaving a small void from a file mark. Despite its shortcoming it is a handsome example with a decent look.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $300 - $500
