Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer R (Gothic) between bottoms of pillars and motto as PLVS in rounded panel, rare. Nesmith-3 for type/3b; Cal-60; S-M1; KM-7. 3.29 grams. A slightly later variety with crude A's used in both shield-side and pillars-side legends, this example suffers from traces of lacquer, tooling, and a plugged hole at 3 o'clock on the shield side, but the strike is bold, XF for grade, and most of the legend is visible. It was purchased in 1955 and therefore not included in Nesmith's book as a different variety. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
