Mexico 1856Ca 8 escudos rev Stacks 110-1204.jpg

This specimen was lot 1204 in Stack's "Vermuele, Ward & Mexico Maxico" sale (New York, January 2010), where it sold for $4,312.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Republic. 8 Escudos, 1856/46 Ca RG. Chihuahua. Hand inscribing law book with quill and Liberty Cap. Rv. Bold eagle facing r. with snake in beak. A high-grade example that shows a few moderate hairlines in the reflective fields. The edge and surfaces are better than average for this issue. Boldly repunched date, although the 5 could be over a 4, the flag of the 5 shows repunching low as well as the entire 6. Choice About Uncirculated." 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. This is an early issue for this mint. The date is given a 75% premium over the contemporary Guanajuato mint in the SCWC.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.875 fine gold, .760 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: KM 383.1, Fr-67.
