Mexico City, Mexico, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer A to right, mintmark M to left (M-A), ex-Jones (Plate Coin). Nesmith-57b type; Cal-109; S-M6; KM-12. 6.76 grams. A conundrum, as the mintmark A looks like it was struck over something (extra metal?) but it cannot be A/S (A came before) and does not look like A/G. Despite that, it is a lovely VF with nice toning (dark around details). Pedigreed to the Dr. Peter Jones collection, plated on page 95 of his book The First Coins of the Americas (2020).
