KM-375.6 4r 1850 Mo GC (Stack’s Bowers Kirk Menczer Collection, 24 June 2026, lot 73252)
Diameter 32 mm. 13.540 g, 0.90277 silver
No mint struck any four reales until 1827 when Mexico City issued the first of the series. Interestingly all known 1827 4R are the over-date – 1827/6 – therefore it is just possible that there is an 1826 out there. However, a more likely explanation is that the dies were prepared in 1826 but for reasons unknown to us production did not start until 1827, thus the last digit was over-punched. Another interesting fact about the 1827 4R is that it comes with both medal and coin orientations.
