MEXICO. Sombrerete. War of Independence. 8 Reales, 1811. Ferdinand VII. PCGS FINE-15 Gold Shield.
KM-176; Cal-Type 170 #648. Royalist issue type. Despite its obvious crudeness, an incredibly charming example of the type, with a partial large circular punch on one side, which is typical of the type, and small punches that remain bold on the other, revealing both the date and mentioning Vargas, whose authority these types were struck under.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
