KM-A130; Basso-56- PNM#6-146; PNM#16-322; PNM#21-VIII-132; Cacho-IX-CS-067; 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-Pi JS Mexico republic 8 Reales; Normal date variety. Another example of this seldom encountered mint, as a date we have only four recorded examples with two different crown varieties. The countermark is slightly uneven on a nicely preserved host displaying light attractive gray tone. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning, now slightly subdued and attractive. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor is pleasing to the eye and is sure to add depth the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $400 - $600
