MEXICO. KM# 26 (A&C# 229) - Real (1572-1589) Mo-F. VFVariedad principalmente identificable por tener una cruz con cuarteles transpuestos y leones pequeños. Marca de la ceca a la izquierda y por debajo de ésta, un grabado sin ser plenamente identificable. Varias teorías nos surgen de este detalle; pudiendo tratarse de un intento de colocar la inicial del ensayador (F) pero finalmente se optó por situarlo del lado derecho del escudo, también puede ser que lo que se observa debajo de la ceca sea una fisura o detalle en el troquel sin relación con el ensayador. Independientemente de esto último este ejemplar sin lugar a dudas es objeto de estudio, rara e interesante. Peso de 3.4 gramos
