MEXICO. War of Independence. Chihuahua. 8 Reales, 1815-RP. FINE.
KM-111.1; Cal-Type-90#392. VERY RARE, fewer than 10 known of the date. Struck over an earlier cast issue. Clear legends including the date, and with even wear that has left nearly all of the design intact. Both undertype and overtype portrait are clearly visible, with the nose in particular offset almost as if it were a conjoined bust. The reverse exhibits the same traits, with clear evidence of both the over and under types present. A VERY RARE and desirable piece that is fully original and sure to see spirited bidding. FINE.
Estimate: $2800.00- $3500.00
