Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1734 MF, ex-Jones. Yonaka-M8.34; KM-103; Cal-1442. 26.37 grams. Rather choice example with 100% full and sharp UNC details (and full rims), well centered and well struck, lightly but evenly toned over matte fields that are ever-so-slightly oxidized, one of the best we have seen from this wreck. Pedigreed to the Dr. Peter Jones collection (Sedwick Auction 28, with original lot-tag 316) and to the El Mundo de la Moneda auction of September 2007, with original lot-tag 967 and generic certificate from the salvors. Recovered from: Rooswijk, sunk in 1739 southeast of England
Estimate: 300 - 450 USD
