- Very Rare Mexican Medallic Masterpiece -- Among the Largest Gold Medals of the Period Extant Nearly Equaling the Weight of Four 8 Escudos! MEXICO. Maria Luisa/Royal Order of Noble Ladies Gold Medal, 1793. Mexico City Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-61. cf. Grove-C-265 (unlisted in gold). By G. A. Gil. Diameter: 55mm; Weight: 107.29 gms. Obverse: Diademed and draped bust right; Reverse: Ceremony of nobles: Queen's chambers, as she awards medals of the Order; above, Fame flies right, head left, trumpeting horn; to left, cherubs tend to a smoking urn. Commissioned by Dona Maria Guadalupe de Moncada y Berrio, this was meant to commemorate the founding of the Spanish Royal Order of Noble Ladies of the Queen, and stands as one of Gil's most iconic works, if not his most iconic. INCREDIBLY RAREin gold, with this enchanting and enticing specimen being one of likely just two or three examples extant. A monumental issue featuring over 3.5 ounces of gold, the tremendous opportunity to add such an interesting and seldom-seen larger format proclamation medal should not be overlooked, as another chance will not likely present itself again anytime soon.
