This specimen was lot 58012 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $528. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Philippines|PHILIPPINES]]. Peso, 1862. Manila Mint. Isabel II. PCGS AU-55." This coin is one of a series minted by the Spanish authorities in Manila in an attempt to drive out foreign coin (mostly Mexican) circulating there. There are also silver [[Philippines 1864 10 centimos|ten]], [[Philippines 1868 20 centimos|twenty]] and fifty centimos and gold [[Philippines 1861 2 pesos|two]] and [[Philippines 1861 4 pesos|four pesos]], all with the portrait of Queen Isabella.

The Philippines were conquered by Spain in the late 1500's. Other than introducing Christianity, the colonizers made little effort to develop the islands which gradually fell into the hands of the friars. Manila was important only as a way station on the route from China to Mexico and whatever coins were used there were derived therefrom. Crude, locally produced copper coins were issued c.1798-1835 and in the 1830's large quantities of Latin American pesos were counterstamped "F.7" or "Y.II" for local circulation. Finally, about 1860, a reforming government in Madrid sent the resources to reorganize the Manila mint and modern coinage began. After the Americans seized the archipelago during the Spanish-American war, all the Spanish issues were demonetized in 1904. This type was struck 1861-68 (plus the restrikes dated 1868). There exists an 1862/1 overdate but the SCWC awards only a slight premium to it.

''Specification:'' 1.69 g, 0.875 fine gold.
