Aureo sale 242, lot 244

The second specimen shown was lot 434 in Aureo y Calicó sale 242 (Barcelona, March 2011), where it sold for 160 euros (about US$244 including buyer's fee). The catalog description[3] noted,

"Fernando VII (1808-1833). 1820. Manila. 1 octavo. Acuñación algo floja. Bella. Precioso color. Rara y más así. EBC. (Ferdinand VII, 1808-33, one octavo of 1820, Manila mint, weak strike. Nice, rare thus, extremely fine.)"

These coins were minted in Manila under the most primitive conditions and usually look wretched. This specimen is far above average.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: Copper.

Catalog reference: Cayón-14808, KM 8; Cal. 1614.
