描述:: Augustin I Iturbide gold 8 Escudos 1822 Mo-JM, KM313.2, AU Details - Mount Removed NGC. An attractively colored example of this single-year issue, this coin shows characteristic incompleteness of the central detail, bold peripheral lettering and few marks. Inspection of the edge reveals several charcoal-colored contact points where this piece was once mounted. A fascinating issue for the numismatic historian. This piece was struck after Augustin de Iturbide, a general and politician for the Mexican army, took control of Mexico City in 1821 and gained independence from Spanish control. Shortly after, Augustin was proclaimed President; in 1823, he became Emperor and his likeness was translated to coin. Unfortunately for Augustin, his reign was short-lived and in 1823, at the hands of Santa Anna and his military might, he agreed to abdication and exile in Europe. For collectors, Augustin's coinage is symbolic of the instability that Mexico was experiencing during the period just following independence. The fact that the present example has been previously mounted might suggest one-time proud ownership by one of his loyal citizens. Realized $4,993.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Augustin I Iturbide gold 8 Escudos 1822 Mo-JM, KM313.1, Fr-59, AU50 NGC. A handsome piece that saw light circulation but has surprisingly few field or rim marks. Light rub is seen on highest points of the emperor's cheek and hair as well as on the eagle's center on the reverse. The first Mexican Empire, established upon Mexico's independence in 1821 was short-lived, lasting only eight months through March of 1823. General Agustin Iturbide was able to build a military coalition that took control in Mexico; in 1822 Iturbide was crowned Constitutional Emperor of Mexico at the Cathedral in Mexico City. Although short, Iturbide's reign defined the political struggles in Mexico before and decades after independence. Realized $7,050.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Felipe V gold 4 Escudos 1734 Mo-MF, KM135, XF45 NGC. A scarce date and denomination. Vibrant russet-orange patina highlights much of the peripheral letters and central devices. Evidence of circulation is apparent on the central devices, but it remains evenly spread and adds a charming aged look to the appearance. No post-strike marks of any significance can be noted; however, two tiny planchet laminations do exist around the obverse dentillation. A coin with choice eye appeal for the grade. Realized $3,525.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Meiji gold Yen Year 7 (1874),? KM-Y9a, Fr-49 MS65 NGC. Bold details with deep red gold toning. After the 4th Year of the Meiji era (1871), gold yen coins had become of little use as the silver Yen was widely accepted and preferred by the public. Although mintage reports for Year 7 account for 116,341 pieces, mintage numbers of subsequent years suggest the vast majority of the Meiji 7 gold Yens were never put into circulation. The few pieces that do appear are, unlike the present example, usually circulated or problem pieces. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Meiji Trade Dollar Year 10 (1877), JNDA 01-12, KM-Y14, MS65 NGC. The scarcest of this short-lived issue, in immaculate condition. A flawless strike, with superb steel-blue and gold toning over prooflike surfaces. This three-year issue (1875-77) is extremely popular with collectors of Japanese coins, and advanced numismatists are well aware of the difficulty involved in acquiring a Gem example of this type. None have been certified finer by either NGC or PCGS. Realized $18,800.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
