PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Bolivia. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS VF-35; C/M - XF Details.
KM-100; Basso-56; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-184; PNM#21-VIII-16; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-1-II. Type VI countermark; crowned Y.II. within circular indent. Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837 (By Decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1833-PTS L Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. A VERY RARE sneaky date/assayer combination, we have only one other example documented with the single letter Assayer L, whereas we have 17 examples recorded for Assayer LM. The countermark is deeply applied on a nicely preserved host coin, though a small portion of the top of the crown is slightly obscured. The surfaces are smooth with signs of handling consistent for the grade displaying lovely rich gray patina with a slight iridescent sheen.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
