A lovely example of Luis Marchionni’s Laureate Head Left design. One of my favorites!

The scarcity of coins in the busy ports of the Philippines during the reign of Isabel II resulted in most Philippine coins of this era being heavily worn. These are very difficult to find above XF. Well done!

It appears you may have an example with the 1868/58 overdate.

Congratulations on a nice pickup!

And thanks for posting an Isabel II!

 

Thanks, glad you like it. I got it from St. James Auction.

Nice coin! I have the a 2 peso,
but it's not near as nice as yours.

I plan on getting the 4 peso someday.
