Afternoon everyone…..
I’m a big fan of world coins, but only the old vintage stuff. I have coins from over 120 countries, some that don’t even exist anymore.
I collect these coins in the best condition I can find and afford them in. I prefer mint state examples, but that’s not always possible due to price.
The coin I’m going to share today is a Mexican Un Peso. It’s from 1944 which is the second to last year they were minted. The designs on Mexican old coinage is very unique and the designs are fantastic.
This is an NGC grade MS64. I had thought I’d taken two pictures obverse and reverse, but I guess I was wrong.
Here is some info on the coin from Numista…

The Mexican coat of arms: a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. The eagle, cactus and snake are surrounded by a holm oak (encina) branch on one side and a laurel branch on the other.
The head of the eagle and snake separates the purity (0.720). "ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" over the coat of arms.

I love the Un Pesos towards the initial design of the Libertad.
Here is mine, not an MS64, but I value it as much! What I like most about the design of the Mexican Un Peso is the Edge Lettering: INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD
