^Lot 537 MEXICO, Mexico City, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer F to right, mintmark M to lef

MEXICO, Mexico City, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer F to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oFo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, extremely rare, NGC VF details / tooled, ex-Sedwick-Downing (stated on label). Nesmith-15; S-M3; Cal-90; KM-11. 5.91 grams. Full interiors and nearly full legends despite weak areas, tooling, and cleaning that imparted a coppery toning all over, overall still quite acceptable for such a rare issue of assayer F, the pillars side a die match with an assayer-G issue (which is what Hubbard thought it was, just the G rubbed off, as recorded on his tag), but also a die match with another assayer-F example (look at Sedwick Auction 4, lot 202). Pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage.
