Lot 4388		Mexico. 8 Reales, No Date-M (Mexico City, c. 1535-6); Assayer R (Francisco del Rincon). KM--; WR --. Carlos & Joanna, 1516-1556. Prior to Early Coinage (1538-1541) issues. Crowned arms of Castille and Leon; gothic-style mintmark. Reverse: Crowned pillars, rhomboidal panel containing PLVS; above and between pillars, a circular incuse with cross potent within; assayer mark below, Latin-style R. Bold, well-centered strike on nearly round flan. Spots of minimal weakness; areas of contact corrosion limited mostly to one edge of both sides. Toned. Excessively Rare -- one of only 3 specimens known. Of the highest significance for the history of New World coinage. Emphasizing the experimental nature of this issue, one can discern that this coin is a test strike. Apparent in the fields are flattened designs, indicating that the present piece was overstruck on itself at least once, if not two or more times! NGC graded EF-40. Carlos and Joanna, or Johanna, issued the first coins from Europe for the New World. Johanna was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, and heir to the Spanish throne. She married Philip the Handsome, and they had a son named Charles. Both Johanna's mother, Isabella, and her husband, Philip, died young. By all reports this made Johanna mentally unbalanced. Her son claimed co-regency with Johanna, and had her imprisoned in the castle of Tordesilla. He then ruled in name with her, but effectively he ruled alone. So much for filial love. Only 3 pieces were found in a shipwreck. One is held by a collector who wants one million dollars for his example. Another brought $373,750 at a Heritage sale last year at New York. The salvage group that found the shipwreck, and who at one time had all three coins in their possession, consigned it. The winning bidder, a well-known Latin-American collector, was prepared to pay much more for this coin. At the time of the sale, there were rumors of many more known examples; thus, many major buyers did not attend the sale or bid on this important coin. Mr. Daniel Sedwick, who represented the salvage group at the sale, stated that this was the last piece from the shipwreck. Since the auction, it is now confirmed that only three of these coins are known. The discovery specimen is being offered here. Estimated Value $200,000 - 250,000. Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 144. Ex Millennia, Lot 1073. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 4389		Mexico. 4 Reales, No Date-M-M (Mexico City); Assayer R (Francisco del Rincon). KM-0016; Cayon-3122. 13.55 grams. Carlos & Joanna, 1516-1556. Early Coinage (1538-1541); small central design. Crowned arms of Castille and Leon; gothic-style mintmarks. Reverse: Crowned pillars, value between, rhomboidal panel; assayer mark below. Cleanly struck on lightly oval flan. Some trivial edge weakness. Handsome old toning. Extremely Rare. Probable date struck, late 1538. Of special note, this type, with Assayer R, and the rhomboid panel (plain, without dots), and the overall die style, closely corresponds to the Assayer R, Eight Reales struck at this same period. NGC graded AU-50. Mexico City was the first Spanish mint established in the New World. Cortez, the conquistador of Mexico, as early as 1525, four years after the conquest petitioned Spain for a mint. Ten years later, in 1535, Antonio de Mendoza arrived in Mexico as the first Viceroy. He began almost immediately to mint coins. Two types of coins were produced, the earlier type with no waves on the obverse (1536-1542), and the later types with the obverse waves (1542-1572. The earlier type as offered here, is far rarer. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. Ex Buddy de Silva Collection, Superior, 2/78, lot 1421. Calico no. 79 (plate coin). Ex F.C.C. Boyd Collection. Ex Millennia, Lot 1074.

Lot 4390		Mexico. 4 Reales, No Date-M-M (Mexico City); Assayer R (Francisco del Rincon). KM-0016; Cayon-3122; Nesmith-6a. 13.54 grams. Carlos & Joanna, 1516-1556. Early Coinage (1538-1541); small central design. Crowned arms of Castille and Leon; gothic-style mintmarks. Reverse: Crowned pillars, value between, rounded panel; assayer mark below. Well centered and struck, on choice metal. Perfectly centered, on fairly round flan. Artistic old toning. Very Rare. Among the finest known. Probable date struck, 1538. NGC graded EF-45. Of interest here is the meaning of the two pillars pictured on the reverse. These symbolized the "Pillars of Hercules", or modern day Gibraltar. Gibraltar is an island that was owned by Spain at the time, and is located just a few feet off the Spanish coast. In 1704, during the War of the Spanish Succession, British troops conquered Gibraltar. British ownership was confirmed by the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the war. Britain has owned the island ever since, and Spain has always wanted it back. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
