KM-108; Basso-56; PNM#6-211; PNM#16-190; PNM#21-VIII-22; Cacho-IX-CS-004; Gil-5-4-1-II. Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837 (by decree of 1 February 1836). Countermark: Type VI, crowned Y.II. in incuse circle. Applied to the obverse of an 1834-SANTIAGO IJ Chile Republic "Volcano" Peso (KM-82.2). An appealing and charming example of the type, this specimen, featuring a "volcano" type from the final year of issue for Chile, presents some even handling for the host coin, with the countermark rather well applied and retaining excellent overall detail.
From the David Sterling Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
