Zacatecas. Ferdinand VII "Royalist" 8 Reales 1818 Zs-AG MS63 NGC, Zacatecas mint, KM111.5. Quite a special coin at this level of excellence. A notoriously crude issue produced by royalists during the Mexican War of Independence, this is likely one of the finest representatives in existence. Amazingly strong detail on Ferdinand VII's head and large areas of argent brilliance overpower other areas of charcoal discoloration. The only Choice Mint example certified by NGC and only one graded finer. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
