Dang, while I have lots of coins minted in Mexico City, none of them would be appropriate to post today 😕
8 Reales Madness Collection
100 years before the Battle of Puebla
Keeper of the VAM Catalog • Professional Coin Imaging • Prime Number Set • World Coins in Early America • British Trade Dollars
Not a coin, but a medal which was given to General Zaragoza by the City of Montevideo for his defeat of the French at Puebla on May 5, 1862. The very rare medal is made of lead. Grove-unlisted. A handful of these are known, one being the specimen from the Don Bailey Collection of the Maximilian Era auctioned in 1975 and another being mine, ex-Heritage and a bit beat up, shown here. 56.5mm, 99.3g.
Latin American Collection
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Not as easy to find in this grade as one might think
