PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC EF Details--Damaged; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-138.4; Basso-56; PNM#6-177; PNM#16-368; PNM#21-VIII-164; Cacho-IX-CS-017; Gil-5-4-3-III. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1831-CUZCO G Peru Republic 8 Reales. A pleasant example from this popular mint that is far scarcer than its Lima counterparts. We have nearly 170 recorded Lima mint hosts for this ruler whereas only 30 of the Cuzco mint, for all dates. For this date we have only seven documented with three different crown variants. The countermark is deeply impressed by a punch that is showing some degradation in the crown on a nicely preserved host with plenty of remaining details. Upon close inspection the obverse and reverse appear to have several small peck marks which would account for the details designation from NGC. This attractive example is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $400 - $600
