An amazing piece of history for coin collectors and treasure hunters. This is a lot of TWO of the earliest coins ever minted in the New World.


You will get a silver Spanish 2 Reale coin from minted in Mexico. One side has the \"PLVSVLTR\" motto. The mint marks on the other side are \"L/M\". The \"M\" on the right is for the Mexico mint, and the \"L\" on the left is for the assayer Luis Rodriguez.


You will ALSO get a silver Spanish 4 Reale coin from minted in Mexico. One side has the \"PLVSVLTR\" motto. The mint marks on the other side are \"L/M\". The \"M\" on the right is for the Mexico mint, and the \"L\" on the left is for the assayer Luis Rodriguez.


Very tough to pin down a year, but best estimate is between 1542 and 1559. A rare and important set of coins


The Mexican mint opened in 1536 under the joint reign of mother “Johanna the Mad” and her son Charles I. During their reign, the territories in New Spain were considerably extended by conquistadors like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro. This hand struck reales features the Charles & Johanna coat of arms on the obverse and the pillars of Hercules on the reverse.



This coin was recovered from a shipwreck in the Caribbean and will come with a Letter of Authenticity from the Captain who recovered it. The \"Carlos and Johanna\" coinage of 1536-55 is complicated and difficult to disentangle as records are sparse and the coins are not dated.


I do not know the secrets of coin grading, so I have included nice, large photos for you to zoom around on. This way you can determine for yourself.
