PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Cleaned, Corrosion; C/S: AU Standard.
KM-82; Basso-55; PNM#6-59; PNM#16-146; PNM#21-VI-108; Cacho-VIII-CS-021; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1825-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. A somewhat interesting host being the first year of issue for the new republic. A somewhat interesting host being the first year of issue for the new republic. The early dates (1825-28) from the Lima mint, though scarcer and more desirable than the later dates (1828-1834), they are relatively available found with a Philippines countermark. As an early host type from this mint we have 18 examples recorded bearing an F.7.0 countermark all being the 5-4-1-C crown variety. For this date we have only five pieces documented. The countermark is deeply impressed with good definition of the fine details. Both the obverse and reverse exhibit mostly bright surfaces with richer coloration in the crevasses and protected areas. As indicated on the NGC insert the surfaces show signs of being cleaned with surface porosity as well as numerous scratches. Despite its shortcomings a collectable example of this early type.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $150 - $250
