The 1759 MoM is one of a series of half reals struck 1757-60, during the reign of Ferdinand VI. Gilboy<sup>[1]</sup> lists this date as common. No known varieties exist. The issues of 1757-60 have dissimilar crowns atop the pillars; earlier dates have similar crowns.

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.
