Mexico
Charles & Johanna "Late Series" 4 Reales ND (1542-57) A-M AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Mexico City mint, KM0018, Cal-78, Nesmith-62. 32mm. Above-average for a shipwreck recovered coin, with titanium-gray color over both sides and slight granularity around portions of the legends. The aforementioned "surface hairlines" are minimal at most, and perhaps were confused with the as-struck die lines that run through the central fields. Very desirable as an issue from this scarcer "A" assayer.
