This specimen is the key date of a series struck 1905-18 at the Mexico City mint. This fifty centavos piece replaced the fifty centavo piece struck 1869-95 under the Republic. The older coin was 13.54 g, .903 fine. It, in turn, was replaced by a smaller fifty centavos piece in 1919. The last branch mints, Zacatecas and Culiacan, were closed in 1905 and all official Mexican coinage since has borne the [[Mexico]] City mintmark ("M" or "Mo").
