Watch List notes:

Philippines (under Spain), 8 reales, Isabel II, crowned "Y.II" countermark (Type VI, 1834-7) on an Argentina (River Plate Provinces), 8 soles, 1826 F, La Rioja mint, NGC XF details / cleaned, c/s AU strong, ex-Pomato. KM-95; Cal-668. Very bold countermark and host details, with light contrasting toning and strong strike all over, very attractive for this scarce and desirable host-type, the countermark desirably applied precisely over the sunface (same diameter), as if it were designed specifically for this host! Pedigreed to the Mario Pomato Collection and to the Cayon auction of December 2008 (lot 3046).

Estimate: $700 - $1000
