PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF-20; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-83; Basso-55; PNM#6-70; PNM#16-161; PNM#21-VI-123; Cacho-VIII-CS-027; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1832-LIMA JM Peru Republic 8 Reales. A nice wholesome representative of this abundant date with even wear and rich patina. The countermark is deeply impressed with a rather interesting punch that has started to buckle creating a bulge in the center of the design. A great addition for the academic collector seeking to add depth to their numismatic holdings.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $400
