This specimen was lot 1484 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $2,160. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "PHILIPPINES. 2 Pesos, 1865. Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC AU-53. This VERY RARE and attractive lightly circulated beauty dazzles with some strong tomes of mint brilliance and is a strong example for the grade. This seldom encountered issues is one of the KEY dates to the series for this denomination." 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. These included gold one, two and four pesos (struck 1861-68).
