MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation 4 Escudos, 1711-MXo J. Mexico City Mint. Philip V. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield Certified. 13.39 gms. Fr-7a; KM-R55.1; Cal-Type 46 #228; Cayon-9805. An INCREDIBLY RARE and desirable type, this "Royal" presentation issue was evenly struck on a finely produced, rather round cast planchet. Offering alluringly vibrant yellow-gold surfaces, this striking represents a masterpiece of colonial coinage at the time and features intense, radiating eye appeal. A great opportunity for the connoisseur of special issues or rarities in general, with this cataloger being able to locate just three other examples of this type appearing at auction over the past two decades, and this being the sole piece seen at PCGS. A fantastic survivor destine for a fine cabinet and certain to be a highlight of the next collection it enters. From the D. Brent Pogue Collection.Ex: 1715 Plate Fleet.
