Mexico 1891/89-Cn M peso

from the San Dimas collection

from the San Dimas collection

This specimen is a rather scarce date of a series struck 1873-1904 at the Culiacan mint. Mexico City is the commonest mint, followed by Guanajuato, Culiacan, Zacatecas (scarce), Hermosillo (rare), Alamos (rare) and Chihuahua (rare). Even the common dates have low mintages but the type was widely hoarded, making it reasonably available today. Only the overdate, 1891/89, is listed.

Recorded mintage: 969 pieces.

Specification: 1.69 g, 0.875 fine gold, .047 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: KM 410.2.
