Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer O below mintmark oM to left. S-M11; KM-43; CT-156. 23.51 grams. Bold oMO, good full shield and cross despite weakness and wear (Fine overall), nicely toned, lightly trimmed around edge long ago. It is significant to note that this assayer-O issue was long considered the first "dollar" of Mexico before the Rincon 8R was known (see lot 404).
