MEXICO. Empire of Iturbide. 8 Reales, 1822-JM. NGC MS-61.KM-308; Buttrey-3C. Long Smooth Truncation of bust, "AUGUSTINUS". Large eagle with legend beginning at lower left. RARE in this grade. Sharply struck and very attractive. Lovely slate grey tone on the obverse with hints of red, blue, green and golden hues when tilted. While the reverse exhibits a soft grey throughout with lovely pastels creeping in from the edges and central devices. Quite a lovely example and sure to make its new owner proud.
