Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer R (Latin) between bottoms of pillars, motto as PLVS in rounded panel, NGC XF 40, Nesmith Plate Coin (drawing, no photo). Nesmith-6b; Cal-115; S-M1; KM-16. 13.38 grams. Not often do plate coins from Nesmith's book come to market and the added benefit of this one is that Nesmith's typewritten notes about the coin appear on the envelope in which the coin was kept for about 70 years. An example of the last of the rounded-panel coins to be struck before the use of a rhomboid panel, this specimen is well worth being a plate coin as it has choice toning with full legends and interiors with all Latin lettering including the assayer-mark R and retrograde N, second finest known in the NGC census behind a single AU 50. NGC #6448168-013. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label), plated as a drawing on page 70 of Robert Nesmith's The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
