PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS Genuine--Graffiti, VF Details, C/M - XF Details.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-150; PNM#16-Not listed; PNM#21-VIII-139; Cacho-IX-CS-084; 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 1834-Mo ML Mexico Republic 8 Reales. One of the more available dates from this mint. We have eight recorded examples with three different crown varieties. The countermark is bold and clear on a decently preserved host coin displaying mottled patina with areas of richer coloration. Close inspection reveals a couple of scratches on the obverse accounting for the detail's designation, long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example is pleasing to the eye offering much originality.
Estimate: $200 - $400
