PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Bolivia. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS VF-25, C/M - VF Details.
KM-100; Basso-56; PNM#6-189; PNM#16-182; PNM#21-VIII-14; 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 1831-PTS JL Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. One of the more abundant dates from this mint, for these assayer's letters we have eight documented examples with two different crown varieties. The countermark is decently applied, though the crown is mostly obscured on a pleasant host that exhibits even wear. The surfaces are relatively smooth displaying rich gray patina with areas of lighter coloration and a lovely iridescence near the edges adding to its pleasing appearance.
Estimate: $300 - $500
