Mexico City, Mexico, klippe 8 reales, (1)733MF. S-M28; KM-48; CT-768. 15.2 grams. Well struck as usual, with bold date, full crown and shield and cross, oM and 8, king's name, etc., but with light surface corrosion all over. The most important thing, however, is the provenance, a very rare wreck that yielded a variety (but not a quantity) of world coins. Pedigreed to the original Sotheby's auction of November 8, 1973, lot #99, with photocopy of related pages from catalog. From the Wendela, sunk in 1737 off the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland
