1949 San Francisco Mint restrike of Mexico 1898 Peso

I revised my article and here it is again.
I managed to obtain some more examples of these coins.

In 1949 the San Francisco Mint struck 2,000,000 copies of a Mexico Peso dated 1898 for use in China.

These were made for the Chiang Kai-Shek Nationalist government (Kuomintang) which had introduced a new silver-based currency.

Great info!

Now I want an original and a restrike, even though I wanted to narrow down my collecting focus to other areas.
