[QUOTE="Ian, post: 23243, member: 283"]It's definitely a Mexican from Mexico City. The `M' is very evident after REX (even if the small `o' above the M isn't). Only one F after 1R is evident to my eyes, so your coin could be either 1788 FM or 1788 FF. You might be able to better tell with the coin in hand. At least you know that the Assayer involved was Francisco Arance Cobos (1777-1803) and that it is the bust of Charles III you are looking at. Ah the joys of discovery![/QUOTE]
