MEXICO. KM# 1.1 (A&C# 15) Nesmith-1b Var – 2 Maravedís (1542) M-M. VG.Segunda serie. La primera moneda de menor denominación acuñada en México durante el periodo colonial. Emitida durante el cargo del ensayador G (Juan Gutiérrez). Variedad con M a la derecha de la I en anverso y con marcas por reverso flanqueando por castillo. Un ejemplar muy raro faltante en la mayoría de colecciones de Carlos y Juana, pocas piezas se conocen de los cuales la mayoría presentan fuertes daños ambientales. La presente consideramos un ejemplar decente por su poca corrosión aunada a una buena cantidad de detalles perceptibles del diseño. Pequeña perforación

Second series. The first smaller denomination coin minted in Mexico during the colonial period. Issued during the position of the assayer G (Juan Gutiérrez). Variety with M to the right of the I on the obverse and with markings on the reverse flanking the castle. A very rare specimen missing from most of Carlos and Juana's collections, few pieces are known, most of which have severe environmental damage. We consider this a decent specimen for its low corrosion coupled with a good deal of noticeable design detail. Small perforation.
