Philippines: Spanish Colony. Ferdinand VII Octavo 1829 M-F MS61 Brown PCGS,...
Description
Spanish Colony. Ferdinand VII Octavo 1829 M-F MS61 Brown PCGS, Manila mint, KM8, Cal-81, Basso-Unl. The most elusive of the three dates that saw production from this diminutive copper series, which was unique to the reign of Ferdinand VII. Examples of this type found at auction are predominantly from the 1820 issue; in fact, Heritage has only offered 1820 Octavos, never an 1829 or 1830, until now. For the first occurrence of this date to sell with our firm to be a Mint State specimen is extraordinary. The 1829 issue is scarce and desirable in all grades, but we are unaware of a specimen of this caliber appearing for auction in recent history. This piece is clearly of Mint State quality, exhibiting no rub to the design high points and a remnant or two of pinkish luster in the protected areas; perhaps limited in its numerical assignment by a few darker spots on the obverse. We are certain that Spanish Philippines copper specialists will be thrilled by this selection.From the Mahal Collection of Spanish and US Philippines Coins, Part XII

1829 M-F年菲律賓斐迪南七世Octavo銅幣。MS61 Brown PCGS。
馬尼拉造幣廠。這枚小面額銅幣為斐迪南七世時期所獨有，共有三個年份，此為當中最具魅力者。按拍賣記錄，這款銅幣的大多數例子都出自1820年，亦為海瑞得僅曾經手的年份。此為敝司首次經手1829年例子，具備原廠狀態更是難得。1829年的例子不論評分都為稀罕誘人，但品相如斯上乘出色者確實為近年所未見。此幣之原廠狀態毋庸置疑，圖文高點不見一絲磨損痕跡，並偶見一兩道粉紅光澤。其分數之所以未能更進一步應是背面寥寥數點暗沉斑點之故。定必會吸引一衆西屬菲律賓的收藏家競投。
