MEXICO. Carlos & Johanna, Early Series. 4 Reales, ND (ca. 1538) Assayer P. NGC EF-45.
KM-16 (for type); Nesmith-unlisted. Wrong date (1536) on holder. Rhomboid panel. Assayer "P" on the obverse between the pillars. Same dies as Nes-6d (Assayer R). "R" effaced and "P" punched in it's place. This is the first issue of assayer "P" in late 1538 after the departure of Rincon. Of the highest numismatic importance, and VERY RARE. Minor corrosion on the edge. Nicely struck and quite attractive NGC EF-45.
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00
