This specimen is a rare date of a series struck 1869-93 at the San Luis Potosí 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. Assayer H is also recorded for the year and is only scarce. This specimen was lot 8981 in Ponterio sale 159 (Baltimore, March 2011), where it sold for $258.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "MEXICO. Potosi. 10 Centavos, 1885-PiC. RARE date. Adjustment marks on the reverse, toned. VERY FINE."
Specification: 2.71 g, .903 fine silver, .078 troy oz ASW.
