Mexico Empire of Agustin I (de Iturbide) Proclamation and Other Medals Abuelo's Collection.
Iturbide Inauguration Proclamation Medal 1822 Grove 9a

Owner Comments:

In near Gem condition this is an incredible proclamation medal for the short-lived Emperor. Iturbide medals are rare, and while this one is one of the most "commonly" available, this is clearly a condition rarity.

From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. Empire of Iturbide. Silver Proclamation Medal, 1822. NGC MS-64.
34 mm. Grove-9a; Fonrobert-6539. Crowned imperial eagle atop cactus growing out of rock; Reverse: Five line inscription with wreath around. Weakness to center as is the case with virtually every example of this issue encountered. Nevertheless an impeccable specimen showing a strong strike on highly lustrous metal leaving sharp detail and flashing fresh surfaces. Some trivial tiny contact marks which have to be hunted for are the only evidence of any handling. Sporting attractive golden and dusty gunmetal blue toning throughout. Easily one of the nicest examples we have seen and most likely one of the finest available".
