The first specimen was lot 30873 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $3,055. The catalog description[1] noted, "Republic gold Escudo 1831 Mo-JM, MS64 NGC. Slight softness in the central areas, but otherwise the strike is sharp and the surfaces free of detracting marks. Full luster shimmers beneath a touch of greenish-gold patina. Rare in this near-Gem condition. The single finest example certified by NGC." The Mexico City mint struck this type 1825-63 and 1868-69 and most dates count as common.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 3.38 g, 0.875 fine gold, .095 troy oz AGW.
