Charles & Johanna "Early Series" 4 Reales ND (1536-42) P/R/·M·-·M· AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM0016, Cal-70, Nesmith-Unl. 31mm/26.5mm. A rare issue, struck from modified dies, with the diagonal leg of the former 'R' assayer initial mostly removed to become a 'P'. Additionally, the type displays characteristics from older Rincon issues, with a PLVSV-initialed circular panel instead of the transitional rhomboid style. Only the second example we have seen from these dies, and clearly the finer of the two, with a well-centered and bold strike that shows minimal doubling, golden-gray color and minimal corrosion over the surfaces. An absolute prize coin for the specialist.
Selections from the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet
