Philip V gold 4 Escudos 1741 Mo-MF AU50 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM135, Cal-247. A sharply detailed and considerably lustrous coin - as expected for the designation - with two small areas of planchet roughness to the right of the bust on the obverse mentioned for accuracy purposes and the usual handling marks at this grade level. Overall, a most pleasing representative of this elusive series, very rare and desirable in this engaging preservation. The specialist will also undoubtedly rate this a better date, noting that it was missing in the Norweb and Gerber holdings and that Burzio could not trace any offerings of it, while the Eliasberg example was a cleaned VF coin.
From The Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
