MEXICO. Augustin I Iturbide Silver Proclamation Medal, 1823. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.Grove-17a. Obverse: Uniformed bust of Iturbide facing right, legend around; Reverse: Six line inscription, shining star above. Extremely choice for the issue, displaying moderate gray tone over both sides and strong underlying reflective qualities. An especially desirable type for collectors of the ephemeral Iturbide, as the portrait on this piece, engraved by Francisco Gordillo, is executed in high relief and shows wonderful expression.
