| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the host coin's design: a volcan de mayo (liberty pole) surmounted by a Phrygian cap within a circular glory, topped by a five-pointed star, the entire device flanked by a scrolling ribbon banner inscribed LIBERTAD. The surrounding field bears the circular legend UNION Y FUERZA along the upper periphery, with the date 1834 prominently struck at the base. An applied oval countermark, struck by the Manila Mint on behalf of the Spanish colonial authorities, appears in the central field, bearing the crowned cypher of Queen Isabella II (Y•II•) to validate the host coin for circulation in the Philippines. The coin's obverse is framed by a fine dentilled border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Philippines lacked sufficient mint capacity to supply silver coinage for everyday commerce through much of the early nineteenth century, so the colonial government resorted to countermarking foreign coins already in circulation. Chilean pesos, struck at the Santiago mint after Chilean independence, flooded Pacific trade routes and were formally legitimized for Philippine circulation by the application of the crowned "F.7" and later "Y.II" punches — the latter referencing Isabella II, who ascended the Spanish throne as a minor in 1833 following the death of Ferdinand VII.
The countermark years 1834–1837 coincide precisely with the regency of María Cristina, during which the Carlist Wars consumed metropolitan resources.
