Aureo sale 238, lot 278

The second specimen was lot 278 in Aureo & Calicó sale 238 (Barcelona, November 2011), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted,

"Manila. Resello Y.II bajo corona sobre 8 reales de Perú, Lima 1834 MM. MBC. (Manila Y·II· with low crown counterstamp on 1834 eight reales of Peru. Very fine.)"

This type is known for 1834-37 and the SCWC lists this as one of the common undertypes. The authorities in Manila used this counterstamp (an abbreviation of "Isabel II") after the death of Ferdinand VII made the "F.7o" stamp obsolete. The SCWC[2] notes, "Countermarking of foreign coins was halted in Manila by the edict of March 31, 1837 after Spain had recognized the independence of Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile and other former colonies in Central and South America."

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.903 fine silver.
