1834-37年菲律宾-墨西哥8 埃斯库多金币。 伊莎贝尔二世。PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Escudos, ND (1834-37). Isabel II. PCGS MS-61 Gold Shield; Countermark: UNC Details.VI 型戳记，加冠 Y.II。在 1822-Mo JM 墨西哥伊图尔比德帝国8 埃斯库多正面的圆圈内加戳。经 1834 年 12 月 20 日法令发行，由 1837 年 2 月 1 日的法令压制，于 1837 年 3 月 31 日被正式废除。此版极为珍稀，即便是菲律宾著名的学术研究者如 Pablo de I. Jesus、Gilbert Perez、 Jose P. Bantung 及 Aldo P. Basso 亦未曾收录此款钱币，可说是举世无双的珍品。此版金币向来受资深藏家欢迎，鲜少面市，别树一格的加戳更惹遐想。此枚加戳于伊图尔比德帝国的 8 埃斯库多上，银质版已是凤毛麟角，金质版更是超乎想像，令人为之惊艳。菲律宾著名的钱币学家，<<菲律宾硬币，、奖章和代币>>的著者 Aldo P. Basso 曾写道"带戳记的金币绝对是常列待收藏项目的前茅"。此枚戳记端正居中，由于底下的设计浮雕，戳记的中央部分铸力薄弱。此戳与我司 2015 年 NYINC 拍卖中的 Ray Czahor 收藏系列所呈献的 1428 拍品（1825-Mo JM，该戳加盖于墨西哥"手放书上"8 埃斯库多）的特徵相异。本品实心 Y 戳，因此容易推论出头冠上的明珠应为5-4-3排列。加戳金币鲜少面世，如此引人入胜的一枚，肯定会引起高级收藏家的广泛关注和激烈的竞标，钟情菲律宾或墨西哥钱币的藏家不容错过。值得一提的是，上面提及的 1825-Mo JM 8 埃斯库多评分为 PCGS EF-45，并以 50,000美元的高价落槌（连佣金）。cf.

Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle applied to the obverse of an 1822-Mo JM Mexico Empire of Iturbide 8 Escudos. Issued by decree of 20 December 1834, suppressed 31 March 1837, by decree of 1 February 1836. This exceptional rarity was unknown to the famous and well-known early academic numismatists of the Philippines such as Pablo de I. Jesus, Gilbert Perez, Jose P. Bantung and Aldo P. Basso to name a few; and for all intents and purposes is UNIQUE and highly desirable. As a type, the gold issues are seldom encountered and are always heavily desired by serious collectors seeking rare and unusual host coins/types. The host type in this instance, an 8 Escudos from the short-lived Empire of Iturbide, is much more intriguing, as the silver versions are unusual, but an appearance in gold is almost unthinkable! Famed Philippines numismatist Aldo P. Basso, author of Coins, Medals and Tokens of the Philippines; stated "Countermarked gold coins must be placed at the top of the list". The countermark here is nicely centered, though due to the relief of the host design that it was struck over, the central portion is quite weak. This punch, die-linked to the 1825-Mo JM "Hand on book" Mexico 8 Escudos sold in our NYINC 2015 auction of the Ray Czahor collection Lot # 1428, bares interesting characteristics such as the cross section of "Y" in the queens cipher being filled, making identification and classification to the 5-4-3 pearl sequence easy. Seldom do the countermarked gold issues from this series come to market, let alone one of this magnitude. As such, it is sure to garner much attention and spirited bidding from advanced collectors, as it could appeal to collectors that specialize in the Philippines, Mexico or irreplaceable world type coins.It is worth mentioning that the 1825-Mo JM 8 Escudos mentioned above was graded PCGS EF-45 and hammered down for an impressive $50,000- plus the buyers premium.
