MEXICO. 2 Escudos, 1755-Mo MM. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VI. NGC AU-53.
Fr-19; KM-126.2; Cal-165; Cayon-10759; Grove-1117. Attractive quality for the RARE type, it presents antiqued copper accents around the raised designs with remnants of intense flash appearing within the protected areas. While grade appropriate, a small mark in front of Ferdinand VI's portrait is the only mention-worthy instance on either side. Only surpassed by a single example in the NGC census, this coin is sure to excite the Mexican specialist that covets the extreme elusiveness of the gold minors from this period.
Ex: Eliasberg Collection (ANR 4/2005) Lot # 3128.
