Mexico City, Mexico, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," inverted assayer G to right, mintmark M to left (M-inverted G), very rare (Plate Coin). Nesmith-unlisted; Cal-112; S-M5; KM-unl. 6.64 grams. Very rare and interesting die error with assayer's initial punched into the die upside-down (unknown to Nesmith and only seven known to us including present example), AU with traces of luster, light toning around elements of design. All examples are the same die and this one is probably the nicest of them all. Pedigreed to the Dr. Peter Jones collection, plated on page 84 of his book The First Coins of the Americas (2020).
