PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF-25; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-83; Basso-55; PNM#6-72; PNM#16-163; PNM#21-VI-125; Cacho-VIII-CS-029; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-LIMA MM Peru Republic 8 Reales. Again we see the F.7.0 punch that has started to buckle on this frequently encountered host date. More than 80 examples are in our records of the F.7.0 5-4-1-C crown variety. The host is a pleasing soft gray in color with areas of slate amongst the devices and protected areas of the legends. The countermarked is boldly applied, but the central devices are somewhat obscured due to the bulge from the failing punch adding a bit of character to the series.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $400
