Charles & Johanna "Late Series" 4 Reales ND (1542-57) M-R XF Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Mexico City mint, KM0018, Cal-Unl., Nesmith-70. 32mm. Listed as a type by Nesmith, but with no recorded examples. Since then, a small number of examples have surfaces from shipwrecks, but the M-R combination is still considered quite elusive. This example, far better than the majority that display moderate to heavy corrosion, is light silvery colored in the open fields with soft golden accents around much of the design. Light cleaning and faint evidence of a past mount suggest past jewelry usage.
Selections from the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet
