Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, very rare, NGC VF details / environmental damage. Nesmith-24b/24d; Cal-63; S-M4; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.35 grams. A variety Nesmith had not seen (a combination of his 24b and 24d), this coin was purchased after the book was published, from a 1962 hoard (probably the Guatemala hoard he wrote about), hence the bits of corrosion and encrustation. A nicely toned piece with virtually full legends. NGC #6448168-027. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
