First off, this coin has a date of 1772 with assayers initials FM and mint mark Mo in the normal orientation with respect to the rim. Not quite impossible as Calbeto and Elizondo list this variation, without photos, and the caveat that there may be two known examples. There are a few other details that do not seem correct such as the 2 in the date and the appearance of the PLUS ULTRA banner.

The Calbeto coin #800 is a pillar coin, not a portrait. Elizondo does not list a 1772 portrait without inverted assayer and mintmark. He does list the 1772 MoFM pillar with the notation "2 known, one in the Bank of Mexico collection".
