Zacatecas. Ferdinand VII 8 Reales 1820 ZS-RG MS65 NGC, Zacatecas mint, KM111.5, Cal-1464. An absolute stunner in terms of both preservation and eye appeal, at the turn of the wrist, unleashing shimmering underlying luster across watery, argent fields devoid of notable visual detractor. One can instantly recognize this coin as special when inspected in hand, the visual character enhanced when viewed under magnification to witness intriguing granularity and evidence of die deterioration, characteristics typical of these later-date issues from this tumultuous era. Across all War of Independence 8 Reales, the offering at hand endures atop the rest, as the sole finest certified across dates and mints of this period and will entice even the most advanced collectors of Mexican numismatics.
