MEXICO. 4 Escudos, 1747-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VI. NGC AU-58.
Fr-14; KM-136; Cal-703; Cayon-10786; Grove-1124. One-year type. The single finest certified on the NGC population report. EXTREMELY RARE in this state of preservation and heavily sought after. A wholesome and flashy example of the first year of issue for Ferdinand VI often referred to as the "Caveman" bust. This example has only the slightest touch of wear denying it uncirculated status. Armored bust right, legend around; Reverse: Crowned arms of Spain flanked by Assayer's initials and ✿4✿; legend around. This very attractive and flashy example of the much-sought transitional year type offers much originality and is pleasing to the eye with much remaining flash.
