PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1832-34). Manila Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS VF-30; C/M - XF Details.
KM-74; Basso-55; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-120; PNM#21-VI-88; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-!(2)-B. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Issued by decree of 2 October 1832, commencing 5 October 1832 until 20 December 1834. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1832-Go MJ Mexico Republic 8 Reales. A surprisingly RARE and sneaky host date from this mint, we have only two examples documented in our records, both the 5-4-!-B crown variety. The countermark is bold, though parts of the ordinal are somewhat obscured on a nicely preserved host coin that displays attractive gray patina with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices adding to its pleasing appearance.
Estimate: $600 - $800
