Finest Certified Spanish Colonial Copper Minor

Spanish Colony. Ferdinand VII Mint Error - Double Struck Octavo 1820 M-F MS65 Brown NGC, Manila mint, KM8, Cal-80, Basso-23. An astounding survivor from the Spanish colonial series and the finest grade available between both major grading services, not only for this denomination, but across all copper minor denominations made for and in the Philippines. All this made even more singular by the dramatic error: a double strike visible in the lower hemisphere of the flan that further enhances this specimen's impressive desirability. Mint luster and sparks of original mint red twinkle in the recesses, particularly in the obverse double-struck area that elevate this into the realm of a trophy coin. Of clearly exceptional quality and what we've come to expect from the greatest collection of Philippines material, the Mahal Collection, and sure to be a conversation piece of the serious collector.
