MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1823-Mo JM. Mexico City Mint. NCS VF Details--Removed from Jewelry.
Fr-63; KM-382.2; H/O-pg. 93 Type II. "Hookneck" eagle; type II. A crown jewel for any collection, this is the first appearance of the "hookneck" eagle gives a glimpse into the future for the designs of the newly established Mexican Republic. A VERY RARE and difficult type to acquire, the prior use in jewelry is of little concern as the opportunities for purchase are so limited. Some scattered marks and light cleaning are observed, but overall detail remains rather robust and it will undoubtedly be hotly contested on account of its great desirability.
Estimate: $5000.00- $10000.00
