Charles & Johanna "Early Series" 4 Reales ND (1541-1542) M-P AU50 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM0017, Cal-123, Nesmith-26a. 13.4gm. Variety with plain circles above and below the mintmark and assayer's initial, and panel leaning right. A scarce early series type minted under Pedro de Espina, with a general survey of auction records from the last several decades revealing that far fewer examples of the panel leaning right variety have become available than those with the panel leaning left. Indeed, this is only the third we offered (the first since 2016), with none in our sales of the Rudman Collection. Notably absent from the O.K. Rumbel Collection as well, and certainly in the upper bracket of NGC-certified survivors.
