MEXICO. Early Series. 3 Reales, ND (ca. 1536)-R. Mexico City Mint, Assayer R (R/oMo-oMo). Carlos & Johanna. NGC EF-45.

KM-0014; Cal-114; Nesmith-5d. Weight: 10.11 gms. 3 Bars variety. Tied for the finest certified of the variety on the NGC population. This EXTREMELY RARE variety is probably the last iteration of the denomination and is highly desirable. This attractive survivor exhibits a bold strike with good metal quality, though a slight shift from doubling is noticed on both sides. The devices display a light gray tone with rich slate patina in the peripheries and amongst the devices. This seldom encountered issue is a handsome representative of the type and is pleasing to the eye sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
