PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Cleaned; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-83; Basso-55; PNM#6-74; PNM#16-165; PNM#21-VI-127; Cacho-VIII-CS-030; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1834-LIMA MM Peru Republic 8 Reales. Here we have a seemingly common late date Peru host bearing the F.7.0 5-4-1-C crown variety. However, our records indicate that it is SCARCER than it appears having only 6 examples documented for all F.7.0 countermark varieties (5-4-1-C [5] and 5-4-1-B [1]). This moderately worn survivor obviously saw much circulation displaying a light golden-gray tone with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices. The countermark is boldly applied with a phallic bulge and void on the opposing side offering an interesting characteristic that can be traced throughout the series linking both rulers and multiple punches. Signs of an old cleaning prevent this piece from garnering a numeric grade from NGC. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type that exhibits numismatically interesting traits that would make a great addition to the next academic collection it enters.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $150 - $250
