This specimen is a very scarce date of a series struck 1878-95 at the Durango 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. All the Durango mint issues prior to 1887 are very scarce to rare. This specimen was lot 8928 in Ponterio sale 159 (Baltimore, March 2011), where it sold for $920. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Durango. 10 Centavos, 1878-DoE. Rare date. NGC MS-64."

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