Picture does no justice.
It was described by the cataloguer as having:

......gorgeous gold, blue and violet toning and reflective luster augmented further by bold doubling of the reverse devices
superlative quality....

Personally I think its rarer than a hookneck 8 reales in a similar grade :|

I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Very nice coin, produced at the Estado de Mexico in the Tlalpan Casa de Moneda, this is the old building:

    In all the coins that I found have a bad typo: Tlalpam versus the correct one - Tlalpan
