Mexico 1814-Mo JJ 8 escudos

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This specimen is an example of the "standard bust" eight escudos struck in Mexico City 1814-21. Altho eight dates exist, it is quite a bit scarcer than the preceding type with the "imaginary bust." The SCWC lists no overdates for this year; assayer JJ is listed for 1811-21.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.875 fine gold.

Catalog reference: Cayón-16433, KM 161, Fr-52.
