Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to left, mintmark M to right, PLVS in rhomboid panel, rare. N-21 (but no specimens known to him); S-M4; CT-77. 13.3 grams. Shield side with oPo-oMo with dots inside the o's (what Nesmith called "rondules-in-annulets"), with similar dots (but doubled, one on top of the other) in legends; left-leaning rhomboid panel with PLVS behind pillars, double (dotted) o's inside the panel outside the pillars, and plain annulets on the corners. Richly toned and well-centered XF with full legends and choice inner details, slightly weaker toward one side. Note: P-M is significantly rarer than M-P in 4R. Purchased from Lou Collins in 1971 as being from a "Florida land hoard."
