This specimen is a slightly scarce date of a series struck 1873-1904 at the Culiacan mint. [[Mexico]] City is the commonest mint, followed by [[Mexico 1896/5-Go R peso|Guanajuato]], Culiacan, Zacatecas (scarce), Hermosillo (rare), [[Mexico 1888-As L/M peso|Alamos]] (rare) and Chihuahua (rare). All the known specimens are the overdate, 1896/5. Even the common dates have low mintages but the type was widely hoarded, making it reasonably available today.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,028.

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

''Catalog reference:'' KM 410.2.
