Mexico City, Mexico, 1/2 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer G between bottoms of pillars, assayer M/F to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oM/Fo), motto as PLV in right-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, extremely rare, NGC VG details / environmental damage. Nesmith-8 for type; Cal-42; S-M2; KM-unl (6 for type). As with many 1/2 real coins, this one is not a perfect specimen given its spotty toning, uneven strike and perhaps bits of "horn" silver; however, it is the only NGC-certified example of oM/Fo, and in general they are not found in top condition, probably from many years of use. Assayer G coins of this denomination are very rare, and this is the only one we have seen with M/F (unlisted in Nesmith). NGC #6448168-042. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
