MEXICO. Augustin I Iturbide Silver Proclamation Medal, 1823. NGC MS-63.
Grove-17a. By: F. Gordillo. Obverse: Uniformed bust of Iturbide facing right, legend around; Reverse: Six line inscription, shining star above. A lovely example of this SCARCE proclamation medal from right after the end of the Mexico's War for Independence. Featuring a great deal of luster and very little evidence of handling. Augustin I's portrait is prominent on the obverse of this medal, with the reverse inscription expressing loyalty to the new emperor of Mexico. Augustin I's reign as emperor of Mexico lasted only a brief period, and consequently any numismatic issue from his reign is severely limited in time.
From the Barquera Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
