In her article "Varieties of Rincón Three Reales of Mexico Charles- Joanna" Cori Sedwick conducted a die study and concluded that the 3 dot variety with water under pillars were the first coins struck in Mexico when the mint opened in 1536. By royal decree, 3 Reales were to be paid to each mint official for every mark of silver they coined. Nesmith states that the pay was actually 2 Reales, Sedwick theorizes this on top of the unpopular design of the calm water below the pillars were the reasons why this design and denomination were discontinued A modified water below pillars design would return with the late series design beginning in 1542.
