Second finest in the current NGC census behind a single XF 45, with full legends and details, this variety is like those from assayer A with flowers instead of crosses at the top of the legends on each side; unlike assayer-A coinage, however, that is not true of all 1/2R types from this assayer L. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder.
Estimate: $400 - $600
