Spanish Colony. Isabel II Counterstamped 8 Reales ND (1834-1837) AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM108, Basso-56. Host: Chile "Volcano" Peso 1834 SANTIAGO-IJ (cf. KM82.2); Counterstamp: Type VI Crowned "Y.II." (AU Detail). A highly popular and iconic host issue of South America made even scarcer by the Isabell II countermark stronger impressed between the volcano and "UN PESO." While a light cleaning is evidenced by notable hairlines, the piece has pleasingly retoned, showing a subtle peripheral iridescence highlighted by light residual luster.
