MEXICO. Charles IV/Guanajuato Miners Silver Proclamation Medal, 1790

MEXICO. Charles IV/Guanajuato Miners Silver Proclamation Medal, 1790. Mexico City Mint. PCGS MS-61.
Grove-C-76A. By G. A. Gil. Diameter: 47mm. Obverse: Garlanded and uniformed bust right, wearing Collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece; Reverse: Subterranean mining scene, featuring three shafts with miners at work with picks. Quite SCARCE in silver, this specimen displays an engaging reverse that presents a corollary to similar German mining medals of the era. Pleasingly toned and with some great brilliance in the fields. Though a die bisecting the reverse is noted, this is entirely consistent with this particular reverse.

Estimate: $1000 - $1500
