This is one of a series struck 1732-47 during the reign of Philip V (1700-46). The regular issue for this date is considered by Gilboy[1] to be very rare. The example shown is a 1733/2 overdate, which lists as extremely rare (4-10 pieces known). There is another major variety of this date with the MX mintmark (see 1733-MX MF 4 reales).

The 4 reales is the scarcest colonial denomination although all dates are available except for the very rare 1732. Harris[2] lists the Ferdinand VI pillar four reales in order of abundance: Mexico, Guatemala, Lima (scarce). Specimens in high grade are very rare.

Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy[1] 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.

Specification: 13.54 g, 0.917 fine silver, 0.399 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-9073, Gilboy M-4-4a, KM 95.
