MEXICO. Charles III Proclamation Silver Medal, 1760. Charles III. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
Grove-K-5. El Arzobispo issue. A genuinely RARE medal, almost never seen without a piercing and certainly not in this remarkable level of preservation. Although light wear and handling are present, there is no evidence of tooling, chasing, or large annealing pits. Eminently desirable thus and deserving of pride of place in an advanced cabinet of Spanish Colonial medals. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield.
