Mexico City mint, KM-unl, Gilboy-unl. Error variety with “UTRUQUE” instead of “UTRAQUE” on the date side. Well struck with contained wear over the higher devices, mild adjustment marks on the shield and problem-free thus most attractive for the assigned grade. The discovery piece of this little known and excessively rare variety, of which only three examples are currently known and which remains unlisted in the SCWC and the Gilboy reference work. The rarest Mexican pillar 8 Reales and the key to complete a set of this ever popular series.
Ex. Darwin Palmer collection.
