1814 Guadalajara MR 2 Reales

A very tough denomination from the Guadalajara mint, minted during the Mexican War of Independence. Like other early Guadalajara issues, the piece was coined with local dies, using a bust type unique to this mint. As with other denomminations, the 1814 date is the more common issue, but is uncommon in such fine condition.
