Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1733F, mintmark M.X, very rare. KM-103; CT-772. 23.6 grams. A close second in rarity to the 1732 first year of issue is the one-year variety of 1733 with mintmark M.X, a surprising departure from the almost 200-year prior history of using oM for the mintmark, this specimen with clear details except for about half of the edge, which is corroded, and with some dark oxidation more centrally. A slightly inferior example in our last auction hammered at $2400. From the San Jose site, with official 1981 certificate from the Orange County, Florida, circuit court, signed by the appointed receiver (John Bamberg). From: Spanish 1733 Fleet, Florida Keys
