Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1/2 real, Philip III, assayer F at upper left, assayer oD below monogram, rare. S-M14a. 1.6 grams. Off-center (but nearly full) monogram with full and bold assayers F and oD, also full crown and cross (the latter well centered), richly old-toned VF. Note this co-assayer struck coins under both Philip II and Philip III, but they are distinguishable in the 1/2R denomination by virtue of the fact that the monograms are different (V above the centerline for Philip III). Pedigreed to our Auction #4, lot 661, with original lot-tag.
