PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF Details--Reverse Graffiti; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-129; Basso-56; PNM#6-125; PNM#16-275; PNM#21-VIII-93; Cacho-IX-CS-055; Gil-5-4-3-III; DP-Go09. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1828-Go MJ Mexico republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1828-29, straight "J" variety. A RARE early date from this mint. The later dates (1829-35) from this mint are some of the more abundant hosts for this series, while the earlier dates (1825-28) appear with much less frequency. We have nearly 70 examples documented for all dates from Guanajuato bearing a Y.II. countermark, but only four of this date with three different crown variants (5-3-2-IV[1], 5-4-1-II[2] and 5-4-3-III[1]). The countermark is deeply impressed with good definition of details from a slightly degraded punch showing filling of the base of the crown. The host is nicely preserved with lovely rich patina and minor earthen deposits amongst the devices. The reverse does show some light graffiti from long ago now toned over matching the rest of the coin.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $400
