MEXICO. 8 Reales, (16)20-Mo(D). Philip III (1598-1621). VERY FINE.
KM-44.3; Cal-Type-52#117. Struck on an oddly shaped yet nearly symmetrical planchet with the obverse oriented along the vertical axis. Shield is nearly full and has denomination, mint mark and partial date. Reverse has most of cross and castles, lions are a bit weak and only small bit of legend is visible. Some areas show some roughness and may allude to some time spent underground. A nice example with a solid majority of the elements desired by collectors. VERY FINE.
Estimate: $300.00- $400.00
