PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF Details--Scratches, Cleaned; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-267; PNM#21-VIII-85; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-1-II; DP-Zs02. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1826-Zs AZ Mexico republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1825-42, normal date. One of the more available mints as a host, the early dates are very scarce to VERY RARE. We have more than 50 documented examples for all dates of this mint. For this date just three are recorded with two different crown varieties (5-4-1-II[2] and 5-4-3-III[1]). The countermark is boldly applied with clear definition of the design on a nicely detailed host. Unfortunately, this host was been maltreated long ago exhibiting several long thin pin scratches on the right side of the reverse and numerous small scrapes in the open areas of the obverse. Also, upon close inspection both sides show evidence of an old cleaning, now slightly subdued by mottled patina. Despite its shortcomings an early date that seldom appears on the market and is missing from many collections.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $400
