MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1741-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Philip V. NGC AU Details--Salt Water Damage. KM-103; FC-13; Gil-M-8-13; Yonaka-M8-41. This decently preserved example boasts a strong strike with bold designs. Attractive rich gray patina with iridescent hues is noticed amongst the devices and protected areas while the exposed areas display a light gray coloration and the high points are a bit brighter. Close inspection reveals slightly granular surfaces from prolonged salt water immersion, now displaying attractive patina. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of the type with good eye appeal.
