The first specimen was lot 43502 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2019), where it sold for $1,320. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. War of Independence. Oaxaca. Real, 1813. NGC MS-62. A magnificent representative of this normally very crude series. Sharp details with beautiful multi-color tone throughout. An absolutely fabulous example sure to see spirited bidding from the specialist." The second specimen was lot 77096 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for $1,560. The catalog description[2] noted, "MEXICO. Oaxaca. War of Independence. Morelos. 1/2 Real, ND (1811-14). PCGS EF-40. A terrific example of the type, notably well-cast and evading any damage or distraction. Sure to be a desirable lot for any collector of Morelos' insurgent series." After Hidalgo was captured and executed in 1811, José Maria Morelos took over the independence movement until his capture and execution in 1815. His center of operations was in Oaxaca, where copper and silver half, one, two and eight reales were minted 1811-14. Oaxaca was also the scene of royalist issues in 1812. The paucity of bullion meant that silver issues were few.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: cast silver.

Catalog reference: KM-223; Cal-627.
