This specimen was lot 1263 in Stack's Bowers ANA auction (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $1,410. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1851(5/4)-CaRG. PCGS EF-40." The Chihuahua mint struck eight escudos fairly steadily between 1841 and 1871. The date is given a 66% premium over the contemporary Guanajuato mint in the SCWC.
Many consider the Chihuahua mintmark to be common on pre-decimal issues but that is only true of the eight reales of the period 1874-95. Chihuahua half reals are known only for the years 1844-45 and the reals 1844-45 and 1855. No four reales are known to exist from this mint. The only gold issues are eight escudos 1841-71.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 27.07 g, .875 fine gold, .761 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: Fr-67; KM-383.1.
