Mexico mint, KM-A376.5, DP-Mo02 (“excessively rare”). “REPULICA” error spelling variety. Pleasantly detailed with contained, even wear on the higher points accounting for the designation and free of distracting defects. An iconic and key issue with only five confirmed specimens, noted as “the first and most famous major error of the entire series” in the auction catalog of the legendary J.B. Parker collection (Superior 06/1998, description of lot 3488). A more dramatic engraving error is hard to imagine, since it is the very name of the nascent Republic’s that is misspelled! Currently the only certified example of the “REPULICA” error variety and the second finest of the five confirmed specimens (note that the aforementioned ex. J.B. Parker coin – also the plate coin in Resplandores – was holed).
