Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1733F, mintmark M.X, encapsulated NGC AU details / saltwater damage, very rare. 25.76 grams. Boldly struck and very well-preserved specimen considering its source, with light toning over just-barely corroded surfaces, one of the nicest shipwreck examples we've seen. The 1733 with mintmark M.X is a close second in rarity and popularity to the first-date 1732, and is remarkable as the only time in its history that the Mexico City mint used anything but oM or just M for the mintmark on silver coins.
