GIBRALTAR. Gibraltar - Mexico. 1/2 Dollar, ND (ca. 1765). NGC VF-30.
KM-19 (plate coin, Martinique); Prid-17 (Dominica). Weight: 10.86 gms. Type IV countermark: blunt heart-shaped cut-out with ornamented edges; all on a 1744-Mo MF Mexico pillar 4 Reales of Philip V. This denomination is by far the least seen from this series and should be considered EXTREMELY RARE. This moderately worn example exhibits even wear displaying attractive old cabinet patina with richer slate patination near the edges and in the crevasses. The cut, though slightly uneven from a somewhat degraded punch, offers clear details of the ornamental design and exhibits signs of wear that one would expect from the assigned grade. This highly desirable issue, missing from many important collections, is seldom encountered and is always heavily sought after as few examples are known to have survived today.
