PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details, C/M - XF Details.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-Not listed; PNM#16-291; PNM#21-VIII-106; Cacho-IX-CS-80; Gil-5-4-2. 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 1830-Mo JM Mexico Republic 8 Reales. One of the more available dates from this mint, we have seven examples documented with two different crown varieties. The countermark is unevenly applied and slightly obscured on a nicely preserved example. The surfaces are relatively smooth with remaining luster in the protected areas displaying light attractive gray patina. Close inspection reveals evidence of light scratching in the reverse fields from long ago, now lightly toned and subdued. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type with a decent look.
Estimate: $400 - $600
