Lot 1118
Mexico. 8 Escudos, 1823-Mo-JM (Mexico City). Fr-60; KM 314. 26.99 grams. Empire of Iturbide. Second portrait type. Bare head of General Augustine Iturbide right. Reverse: Crowned eagle atop cactus in ornate oval escutcheon, Aztec arms below. A better strike, with less weakness at the centers, than is mostly seen in this series that suffered from inferior production technique. Minor faint adjustment lines, and a few light marks that are mostly confined to the devices. Very lustrous, with reflective fields. Very rare, particularly in this grade. One of the finest known examples. NGC graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
