Mexico City, Mexico, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer R (Rincon) at bottom between pillars, PLVSVLT in oval banner, rare, NGC XF 45. Nesmith-unl; Cal-86; S-M1; KM-10. 6.45 grams. Exceptionally broad flan with bold full legends and inner details, the shield slightly doubled, with rich toning around details. This is an early type from this assayer with mostly Gothic lettering (including a Gothic R), PLVSVT in a rounded banner between the pillars, and unknown to Nesmith who had only seen later types. All of the coins with this banner had a curious stop between the V and M in INDIARVM which Nesmith called a "#9 punch" and was needed to keep the lettering clear since the crown atop the pillars spilled into the legend and would have obscured one of the letters.
