This specimen is from a series struck 1864-66 for the Maximilian regime. This specimen was lot 6473 in Ponterio sale 155 (Baltimore, November 2010), where it sold for $345. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "MEXICO. Maximilian. 5 Centavos, 1864-M. Toned, sharply struck. NGC MS-64."  Altho this type was demonetized as soon as the Juaristas recaptured Mexico City, it is normally found quite worn, suggesting that it circulated for many years anyway.
