This specimen is a rare date of a series struck 1869-97 at the Guanajuato mint. 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. This specimen was lot 8940 in Ponterio sale 159 (Baltimore, March 2011), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Guanajuato. 10 Centavos, 1875-GoS. RARE date. Minor damage on the reverse. VERY FINE."

Specification: 2.71 g, .903 fine silver, .078 troy oz ASW.
