MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1822-Mo JM. Mexico City Mint. Agustin I Iturbide. NGC AU-58.
KM-310. Bust with short, uneven truncation (type V). Featuring a rather expressive and charming portrait of the brief emperor, this barely handled specimen retains great detail and sports a cabinet tone that intensifies as one nears the peripheries. Meanwhile, an ample degree of original brilliance dances among the protected areas.
From the David Sterling Collection.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
