American Revolutionary Coins Countermarked in Philippines\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A collaboration of Marty Martinez<\/p>\nThe circulation of the Philippines<\/a> at the time of Spanish domination<\/strong> consisted of coin minted in other regions, mainly Potosi, Peru and Mexico,<\/a> with the same denominations as in the rest of the colonies<\/a>.\nFrom the independence of the American colonies<\/strong>, there was a retraction in the circulating in this zone. For this reason should have appealed to a very curious policy: the reselling of currencies. Potos\u00ed, Peru and Mexico were alternated several times by Independents<\/a> and Spaniards between 1810 and 1828.<\/strong>\n

Apparently when the Spaniards occupied these places again, they also appropriated the new mints, some of which were sent to the Philippines by the Pacific route. \u00a0Thus, circulated from 1828 Peruvian independence coins,<\/strong> Mexican and Bolivian in Philippine, with the Spanish denominations.\n\"\"<\/a>\n \nCirculated coins, \u00a0were also circulated after 1828, which for different reasons, arrived on the island<\/a>. It should be noted that the Spanish<\/a> monetary system at that time was adopted by all American<\/a> countries (including the United States<\/a> and Canada)<\/strong>. Also some countries of Africa, and it meant what today is the dollar-USA monetary system. Denominations of the currencies of the new countries were also made in Reals.\n

From 1810….<\/strong><\/h2>\nFrom 1810 the independentistas minted coins<\/strong> with types clearly differentiated from the Spaniards. As the American currencies<\/strong> of all securities circulated through the territory of the Philippines, the authorities realized the negative effect that these currencies could have there. Therefore, on October 13, 1828, the Captaincy General decreed that all coins should be resold with the following type: \nOn the obverse, the coat of arms of Spain with the legend; ENABLED BY KING N. S. D. FERN. Vii. <\/strong>\nOn the reverse, MANILA with the corresponding year that is almost always 1828.\nsee:\u00a0Numismatic: Argentine Ancient Coins 1813-1860<\/strong><\/a>\n\t

Design of Coins – Assayers<\/strong><\/h2>\nDesign was completed with a series of grooves engraved. \u00a0on the obverse die that in principle would erase any trace of Republican legend. This was not so, this first type is known as type I and the same were coined the year 1828 and the very rare of 1830. From the year 1829 we know a 8 escudos. <\/strong>\nThe reverse remained the same but from the obverse disappeared any legend or drawing leaving only the coat of arms. Dr. Pablo I. de Jesus de Manila<\/strong> has written a study on this series<\/a> for which he has found about 400 different copies.\nTSA liquid carry-on rules 2023<\/strong>\n

Clearing the Revolutionary –\u00a0Coins Countermarked Philippines<\/strong><\/h2>\nPast On October 13, 1828, D. Mariano Ricafort, Captain General of the Philippine Islands<\/a><\/strong>, a division of the Viceroyalty of Mexico<\/a>, issued an edict introducing a system of marking the weights and ounces of gold produced by the “insurrect provinces and revolutionary governments “Of the South American<\/a> continent. Thus, infamous words, such as “Republic”, “Independent” and “Free”,<\/strong> were eliminated. \nThe heavy machinery of the mint smoothed the designs of the offending coins and attempted to eliminate any trace of the original coin by minting “Manila -1829”<\/strong> on one side and the Spanish<\/a> coat of arms<\/strong> on the other, with the legend “Enabled by King N.S.D. Fernando VII “and surrounded both wedges by a wide sawed edge.\n
