This specimen was lot 74560 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2022), where it sold for $168. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. 4 Reales, 1803-Mo FM. Mexico City Mint. Charles IV. PCGS Genuine--Rim Damage, VG Details. While very well circulated, evidenced by some rim merging and damage, this piece provides an affordable avenue to acquire a portrait 4 Reales piece more affordably than most of this coveted type." This date is known with assayer FM (shown here) and FT with assayer FM awarded a substantial premium. Harris[2] notes that Potosi mint four reales are about twice as common as Mexico City issues.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 13.54 g, .896 fine silver.
Catalog reference: Cayón-13785, KM-100; Cal-811.
