Worthy of considerable interest and enthusiastic bidding."

This specimen was lot 21495 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2019), where it sold for $43,200. The catalog description[1] noted,

"Exceptional Panay Revolutionary Centavo, PHILIPPINES. Panay. Centavo, 1899. NGC AU-55 Brown. KM-156; Basso-100. Obverse: REPUBLICA FILIPINA, crude helmeted head of soldier right; Reverse: UNO CENTAVO / PANAY, crude rayed sun within triangle. A very RARE revolutionary piece and the first that we have offered. The last sales record that we could locate was Heritage sale 187 (Long Beach, June 1998, lot 6056), graded EF and sold without an online photo. Crudely struck, but well detailed and with no signs of corrosion or abuse. Slightly doubled on the reverse, indicative of its hastened workmanship. Following the Spanish-American War, which saw Filipino rebels successfully cast aside their colonial oppressor with the aid of America, many of those involved on the Filipino side quickly began to distrust the fidelity of their newfound allies, not wanting to trade one monarchy for another. As tensions rose, the Philippine-American War began, lasting three years before officially ending in favor of the Americans. During the war effort, the need existed for a coinage among the rebel forces, with crude and hastily produced issues such as the present specimen being coined. Though very little is known about these enigmatic pieces, famed Filipino author and collector Aldo P. Basso states that they are undoubtedly unofficial issues related to the insurgency movement---a bridge between the Spanish colonial issues which they replaced and the forthcoming American-produced coinage which would supplant them."

James VI (James I of England). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details Gold Shield. 5.05 gms. S-5460; KM-20; Fr-46. Eighth coinage. Though exhibiting some light cleaning as mentioned on the holder, a great example of the type, displaying little evidence of any actual wear. This denomination gained its name through the presence of the sword and scepter crossed in saltire on the reverse."

This specimen was lot 21703 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2019), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN. 4 Escudos, 1593-S B. Seville Mint. Philip II. NGC AU-55. Fr-158; Cal-type-13#17. Weight: 13.56 gms. Typically short of flan, the realization of the arms on this example are nonetheless excellent as are the date and assayer."

This specimen was lot 21705 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Chicago, August 2019), where it sold for $9,000. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN. 2 Escudos, 1597. Segovia Mint. Philip II. NGC AU-55. 6.71 gms. Fr-172; Cal-type 57. Tree and Aqueduct. Scarcely available with a legible date, this outstanding piece presents an exciting opportunity for the cob specialist, well struck for the type on a broader-than-average flan with deep tone and much residual luster."
