Mexico 1760 real rev DSLR.jpg

This date is one of a series struck 1760-71 for Charles III. One reales dated 1760 are also known for Ferdinand VI even tho he died in 1759. Gilboy[1] lists no varieties for the date.

Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy depicts the shield side as the obverse as that side bears the king's name. However, auction catalogs and dealer listings more frequently use the pillars and globes side as the obverse, as that side bears the date.

Specification: 3.38 grams, 0.917 fine silver, .099 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-11241, Gilboy M-1-35, KM 77.
