MEXICO. Carlos & Johanna, Early Series. 1/2 Real, ND (1538-40 or 41). Assayer P (oMo-oPo). NGC VF-20.
1.55 gms. KM-6; Nesmith-Pl.III#23(same dies); Cal-Type 125#187a. SCARCE early series type. Interesting to note that the Assayers letter "P" appears to be punched over another letter, possibly an "M" for when the mint mark and assayers letters were in opposite positions. A lovely well struck example deserving of more research and comparison from the specialist and enthusiast of the first coinage struck in the new world. NGC VF-20.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
