PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS Genuine--Rim Damage, VF Details; C/M - VF Details.
KM-127; Basso-56; PNM#6-118; PNM#16-254; PNM#21-VIII-73; Cacho-IX-CS-071; 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 1822-Mo JM Mexico 8 Reales of the Empire of Iturbide, fifth bust type. This very SCARCE and ever-popular type seldom appears on the market. Our records indicate 17 survivors for all Y.II. countermarks, with only seven bearing the 5-4-1-II crown variety. The countermark is somewhat unevenly applied with weakness in the upper portion of the crown, but the pertinent details are visible. Close inspection reveals many edge bumps accounting for the detail's designation, adding a bit of character. Despite its shortcomings this decent looking survivors is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $900 - $1200
