PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Chile. 8 Reales, (1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS VF-35; Countermark: XF Details.
KM-108; Basso-56; PNM#6-211; PNM#16-190; PNM#21-VIII-22; Cacho-IX-CS-004; Gil-5-4-1-II. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the reverse of a 1834-SANTIAGO IJ Chile Peso. A wholesome example of this ever popular type with a bold countermark and attractive mottled gray patina with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light. Upon close inspection a small planchet lamination is noticed on the reverse mentioned purely for the sake of accuracy, but is hardly a distraction on the handsome survivor.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
