KM-106.1; Basso-56; PNM#6-200; PNM#16-208; PNM#21-VIII-36; Cacho-IX-CS-012; 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 1827-NG M Guatemala (Central American Republic) 8 Reales. This ever-popular type is always sought after, for this date we have only 5 documented examples with three different Y.II. crown varieties. The countermark is unevenly applied with the pertinent details visible on a decently preserved host with even wear and remaining luster. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning, now displaying rich mottled patina with a slight iridescent sheen. Despites its shortcomings this handsome survivor is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
