Mexico
Philip V gold 4 Escudos 1734/3 Mo-MF AU58+ NGC, Mexico City mint, KM135, Fr-9, Cal-239. A magnificent example of this first year of issue of this popular type, and a scarce overdate to boot, with the outlines of a "3" clearly legible under the last numeral of the date. At the pinnacle of circulated condition, with full luster and just a hint of wear at the high points preventing a Mint State grade; additionally, an admirably bold strike reveals details of the curls not detectable upon even the sole finer example certified by NGC, in MS61. A desirable piece sure to attract much attention from collectors of early Mexican gold.
