Portraits

MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1809-Mo TH. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield.

KM-110. Imaginary Bust type. Elegant and entirely wholesome, this survivor offers a great representation of the so-called "imaginary" bust. On account of the chaos in Europe surrounding the Napoleonic Wars, an accurate rendition of the new king did not arrive in the New World for some time, with these imagined countenances sufficing for the earliest issues.

Estimate: $200.00 - $300.00
