PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Peru. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC VF-20; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-138.2; Basso-56; PNM#6-184; PNM#16-384; PNM#21-VIII-175; Cacho-IX-CS-032; Gil-5-4-2. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1836-LIMA MT Peru Republic 8 Reales. The 1836 is SCARCER than the 1834-35 issues, but about the same as the 1833. It is also the last possible date for the countermarking period. We have documented more than 25 examples of this date with five different crown variants. The countermark is bold on a decently preserved host displaying attractive mottled gray patina with areas of richer coloration and minor earthen deposits amongst the devices.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
Estimate: $200 - $300
