PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Bolivia. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS Genuine--Graffiti, VF Details, C/M - XF Details.
KM-100; Basso-56; PNM#6-76; PNM#16-177; PNM#21-VIII-9; 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 1828-PTS JM Bolivia Republic 8 Reales. This seemingly common host appears to be SCARCE. For this date we have only the present example documented. The countermark is boldly applied and clear with a die crack near the top of the crown offering an interesting diagnostic for this punch. Close inspection reveals evidence of faint light thin scratches from long agon, now toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $200 - $300
