MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer F to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-Fo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in left-leaning panel with one annulet in each side, extremely rare, NGC AU details / environmental damage, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Huntington (both stated on label), Nesmith Plate. Nesmith-16; S-M3; Cal-120; KM-17. 11.65 grams. Full legends and interiors with only localized surface corrosion, light golden toning, an extremely rare issue from the rarest assayer of the entire Mexican Charles-Joanna series, also with important pedigrees as de-accessed from the Huntington Collection at the Hispanic Society of America and the Nesmith Plate Coin. This was the die variety used by Kent Ponterio in his die study to assign the correct sequence of assayers (see Ponterio Auction 150 of August 2009, p. 146). Pedigreed to the Huntington Collection, with original tag number 784, and the Morton & Eden auction of March 2013, with original lot-tag 329, and Plate Coin 16 in Nesmith's 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.
