PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC EF Details--Tooled; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-148; PNM#16-326; PNM#21-VIII-136; Cacho-IX-CS-043; Gil-5-4-1-II; DP-Do11. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833/2-Do RM/L Mexico republic 8 Reales; European dies, die style of 1832-42. A RARE date for this type. We have only three documented examples with two different Y.II. crown varieties (5-4-1-II[2] and 5-4-3-III[1]). The countermark is applied well, though the top half of the crown is somewhat obscured by the original design. The central designs are well detailed with dark patina in the crevasses and open areas of the obverse, but primarily contained to the protected areas amongst the devices on the reverse. Upon close inspection it is appears that an attempt was made to remove the thick patina showing signs of severe tooling from the central devices to the edge. Despite its shortcomings, a presentable example.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection
Estimate: $300 - $500
