A26a 1 Peso L. 30.11.1898-24.4.1899
Grade: Ch. VF 35
Extremely rare issued note. What renders this piece likely unique is the Revolutionary government stamp over the embossed seal. Neil Shafer has never previously seen ANY Philippines type with such a stamp! Purple series A, brown serial number. Embossed seal at left. Hand signed by Pedro A. Paterno. The first Philippine Republic had barely issued a few pieces when it was overrun by American forces; at that point, the Philippines became a United States possession. From an extremely relevant and historic series. WBG terms this "Ch. VF 35 staining beneath revolutionary stamp". Less than twenty numbers away from the Pineda example which hammered for $11,000; the only other issued example we have ever offered. Certainly a landmark opportunity for the most advanced collections.
