Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer R to right, mintmark M to left (M-R), NGC XF 45. Nesmith-68a type; Cal-70; S-M7; KM-9. 3.33 grams. Another somewhat scarce issue with full legends and interiors, softly struck. Interestingly, a notation on Hubbard's envelope of "gua hoard coll" indicates this coin may have been from a hoard of reportedly 3,000 silver Charles and Joanna and Philip II coins found in the summer of 1950 at the shrine of our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City behind an adobe wall on church property. This was just before Nesmith and Hubbard met in New York City by chance and contributed to Nesmith's body of work published in 1955 (the hoard is mentioned on pages 4-5). Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder. Please use this link to verify the certification number
