Charles & Johanna "Early Series" 2 Reales ND (1536-42) ◦M◦-◦F/P◦ AU53 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM0011, Cal-110, Nesmith-15. 27mm/6.8g. Graphite-gray colored with a bold strike, minimal doubling in the design and legends that are nearly complete. Extremely rare and a key to the series, this issue, carrying the 'F' assayer initial, is thought to have been struck for only a few months, with less than 10 examples known, several of which reside in institutional collections. Of those, this is the finest example we have seen.
