MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation 4 Escudos, 1711-MXo J. Mexico City Mint, Assayer Jose E. de Leon (J). Philip V. NGC MS-66. Fr-7a; KM-R55.1; Cal-228; Cayon-9805. An <strong>INCREDIBLY RARE</strong> and desirable type, this "Royal" presentation issue was evenly struck on a finely produced, rather round cast planchet. Vibrant yellow-gold surfaces radiate with original mint luster and every device is struck-up and strongly detailed. Tied for finest certified, the present example presents a great opportunity for the connoisseur of special issues, Spanish Colonial, or rarities in general and is destined to be a highlight of any collection it enters. From the Pat Johnson Collection.
