PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Bolivia. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VG-10; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-100; Basso-56; PNM#6-188; PNM#16-180; PNM#21-VIII-12; Cacho-IX-CS-095; Gil-5-4-3-III. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1830-PTS JF Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. For this date we have only two documented examples of all Y.II. crown varieties, (5-4-3-III[1] and 5-4-1-II[1]). The countermark is deeply impressed, though slightly uneven, on a well-worn host with clear diagnostics of the punch where the queen's ordinal "II" appears as "И" due to a thin die crack. The surfaces exhibit mottled rich gray patina with minor debris and earthen deposits amongst the devices adding to its originality. An interesting countermark variation with lots of character.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $100 - $200
