PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS Genuine--Filed Rims, VF Details, C/M - XF Details.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-135; PNM#16-302; PNM#21-VIII-117; Cacho-IX-CS-089; 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 1831-Zs OM Mexico Republic 8 Reales. A slightly better date from this mint, we have seven documented examples with these assayer's letters. The countermark is evenly applied on a beautifully toned host with luster in the protected areas. Close inspection reveals a small file mark on the reverse rim from long ago, slightly obscured by the PCGS holder. Despite its shortcoming the lovely survivor displays eye catching patina and offer much originality.
Estimate: $200 - $400
