Description

Charles II "Royal" 2 Reales 1668 Mo-G XF Details (Holed) NGC, Mexico City mint, KM-R34 (Rare), cf. Cay-7325 (not pictured), Cal-585 (this coin), cf. Sedwick-M20. 6.4gm. By Gerónimo Bercerra. An extremely pleasing presentation of this most challenging issue, thankfully pierced only once in a comparatively inconspicuous location in the legends, while the details appear quite handsomely preserved under a charming stone-gray tone. The only illustrated example of this type-date we have been able to find, as the plate coin in Calico, and unremarkably so, with collectors of this series knowing full well how difficult finding pieces above Fine to VF grades can be. Perhaps just mildly undergraded, and a through-and-through thrilling coin. Ex. Isaac Rudman Collection
