MEXICO. 4 Escudos, 1790-Mo FM. Mexico City Mint. Charles IV. NGC EF-45.
Fr-42; KM-143.2; Cal-1485; Cayon-14321; Grove-1677. One-year transitional bust type with the bust of Charles III, but in the name of Charels IV (ordinal IIII). One of only 4 coins graded at NGC, this example along with one other piece at this grade level sits in the penultimate position population reports - being outdone by a single AU-55 example. Glimmering mint luster flashes lighting up the fields on both sides of the coin. Wear can be seen on the high points of the design - particularly on the portrait, but it does not take away from the overall eye appeal. Very attractive and flashy example of the transition type.
