This specimen was lot 71545 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2021), where it sold for $528. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Peso, 1905-Cn RP. Culican Mint. NGC MS-62. Watery brilliance pools across the reflective fields of this better date peso. Sharply struck from fresh dies, it affords the specialist with an excellent opportunity to acquire a Mint State piece that can boast spectacular eye appeal." This silver peso superseded the cap-and-ray eight reales and was struck 1898-1905. The Porfirio Diaz government closed several branch mints so that only Culiacan, Guanajuato, Zacatecas and Mexico City struck this type. Only the Mexico City mint remained open after 1905.

Recorded mintage: 596,000, a better date.

Specification: 27.07 g, 0.903 fine silver.

Catalog reference: KM-409.
