PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS EF-40, C/M - XF Details.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-336; PNM#21-VII-145; Cacho-Not listed; Gil-5-4-3-III. 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 1835-Mo ML Mexico Republic 8 Reales. A surprisingly RARE date from this mint, we have only the present piece documented example. The countermark is boldly applied to a nicely preserved host displaying rich mottled gray patina with an iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light. The wholly original looking survivor offers good eye appeal and is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
