MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in right-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, HISPANIARVM variety, rare, NGC VF details / stained, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Hubbard (both stated on label), Nesmith Plate Coin. Nesmith-24e; S-M4; Cal-63; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.23 grams. A slightly off-center strike makes the coin legends tough to decipher, but the all-important terminal letters are visible. Overall, it has a frosty tone with some central weakness, rich in detail elsewhere. Its main value is the fact that it was photographed in Nesmith, thanks to its former residence in Clyde Hubbard's collection. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag, and plated as a drawing for 24e on page 90 and as an actual photo on Plate IV of Robert Nesmith's The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955), also pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage.
