PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF Details--Cleaned; C/S: XF Standard.
KM-138.2; Basso-56; PNM#6-171; PNM#16-359; PNM#21-VIII-165; Cacho-IX-CS-026; Gil-5-4-2. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1831-LIMA MM Peru Republic 8 Reales. As we get into the later dates of the readily available Lima issues several patterns start to emerge with regard to the frequency of dates and availability of crown varieties. For a late date issue, this date shows up less frequent than the 1833-35 issues. We have 11 documented examples with three different crown varieties. The countermark is deeply applied with clear details on a wholesome looking host. Evidence of a past cleaning, long since toned over, prevents this piece from a numeric grade.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $100 - $200
