Mexico City, Mexico, 1/2 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer F/P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oF/Po), motto as PLV in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, extremely rare, NGC Fine details / bent. Nesmith-13 for type/13; Cal-unl (43 for type); S-M3; KM-17. 1.29 grams. There are die matches to assayer P coins for comparison, but this is one of three known examples under assayer F (F/P). It was listed by Nesmith as another example of his No. 13 coin listed under assayer F, as he did not recognize the overassayer at the time; although, Hubbard must have at some later time, based on his handwritten notes on the coin envelope. So, while this example isn't perfect, it has nice toning and can be forgiven its imperfections for its extreme rarity. NGC #6448168-039. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
