Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 1/2 real, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer A to right, o to the left, mintmark oMo below monogram, motto PL-V-S, legend as HISPANIARVM.ET.INDIAR on both sides (very rare error), flowers instead of crosses at top on both sides, NGC VF 30. Nesmith-63; Cal-49; S-M6; KM-6.5. 1.58 grams. Very rare but known to Nesmith, this variety contains a mint error in the use of the same legends of HISPANIARVMoEToINDIARVM on both sides of the coin, one of six we have seen, including another in this auction (lot 387), the present example with visible legends and interiors (those rather soft) and some old scratches. It seems that Nesmith did not note the flowers instead of crosses at the top on both sides, but we have observed this on all assayer-A coins of this denomination. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder.

Estimate: $400 - $600
