PHILIPPINES. Barrilla, 1733. Manila Mint. VERY FINE, Details. Environmental Damage.
cf. KM-Pn3; Basso-2. BA monogram in center surrounded by "Ano De 1733" in obverse legend; Reverse: Crowned arms of Manila. One of the RAREST coins in the Philippines series, this piece provides the specialist in Philippines coins with a seldom seen opportunity. Despite some encrustation on the surfaces, this example retains strong details and is quite charming given the crude nature of the type.
