MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel, 4 over rotated 4 in denomination, very rare, / corrosion. Nesmith-26c type; Cal-123;S-M4; KM-17. 12.05 grams. Very rare mint mistake in which the denomination "4" was originally punched in the die at a 90 degree tilt and then corrected. Struck on a full-flan, AU with light surface corrosion, spots of toning, full legends and interiors (a later issue from this assayer with HISPANIARVM in the pillars legend); this is an important coin for the serious collector. Recovered from: “Golden Fleece wreck,” sunk ca. 1550 in the northern Caribbean
