Mexico 1892-Do D 10 centavos

from the San Dimas collection

This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1869-97 at the Durango mint. Assayer P is also recorded for the year. This ten centavos piece replaced the silver one real struck since colonial times. Several transitional designs were issued 1863-70, including one by the Maximilian regime, before settling on this type. It, in turn, was replaced by a ten centavos piece with a redesigned reverse in 1898.

Specification: 2.707 g, 0.903 fine silver, 18 mm diameter, .078 troy oz ASW, reeded edge.

Recorded mintage: 212,000 (both assayers).

Catalog reference: KM 403.3.
